I am a HUGE fan of the works of Phobe Gillman! The Wonderful Pigs of Jillian Jiggs is a really great book! It's a lot of fun to read to the children in my daycare as the story is funny, imaginative, keeps the interest of the children. I feel it's something we can all really relate to; putting your imagination to work, your heart and soul into a project, developing a bond with what you have created and being torn as to whether you should and/or could share it! Jillian names all of her pigs and Phobe gives you detailed instructions on how to "create" your own pig, just like Jillian did. Great story...one of my tops 10 favorites of all time!

Jillian loves her pigs
Jun 15 2000
By A Customer

Format:Paperback
My Kindergartners loved this book because Jillian, the title character, gets a great idea to create pigs but realizes that her hard work is hard to sell. Everyone wants to buy her beautifully made pigs, however Jillian becomes sad at the idea of selling them. To solve her problem, she teaches others how to make their own "wonderful" pigs! We could not resist the temptation to create and decorate our own pigs in our class!

Love this book, but check the measurements before ordering!

I LOVE the Jillian Jiggs books, I had them when I was little and now read them to my daughter, and she loves them too. As a book review, this is a great addition to the Jillian Jiggs collection!
BUT I was very disappointed when my copy arrived in the mail. $4 for a book that measures about 5x5 inches - it's tiny and hard to read because it's so small! Please be sure to check the measurements before you order. Apparently it's been printed in pamphlet size as well as full size - be sure you get the one you want!

Favorite from childhood

This is one of my absolute favorites from my childhood, and I'm now reading it to my son, who is six months old. The story is cute and fun to read, and it even has instructions on how to make the little pigs that the girl makes in the story, which my parents did with my brother and I when we were young and I still remember how much fun it was! I think it's a good length for infants, because my son likes to be read to, but some of our books are a bit too long for his attention span for now. I hope he continues to enjoy it for as long as I have... which I guess is about 23 years!
