If You Give A Pig A Pancake Laura Numeroff Children's Book Review

If You Give A Pig A Pancake features a little girl and a busy little pig! If you are familiar with the series, this book follows the classic If You Give a Moose a Muffin in good form. "If you give a pig a pancake, she'll want some syrup to go with it," it begins. From that point on this book continues...to the bathtub...to the closet ...to the mailbox and eventually right back to the pancakes and more syrup...

This series is a much loved one recommended for children aged 3 to 7. One Amazon Customer Review reads: "This is a great book for all ages; it is the female version of If You Give A Mouse A Cookie. I highly recommend both books; great illustrations and short easy-to-read stories. Your child will be reading in no time if you read fun books like this to her, and simultaneously you'll be laughing as well." ~~ Soaring Heart

Meet Laura Joffe Numeroff. She is an author and illustrator of children's books. Possibly the most famous one is If You Give A Mouse A Cookie. She was born in New York and is the second author I have written about recently who was an avid reader and who knew, as a child, that she wanted to be a writer. Before she followed the path to being a writer though, she went to college to study fashion design but eventually decided that wasn't for her. She took a writing class instead and renewed her interest in writing. If you are interested in reading more about Laura Numeroff, you might enjoy reading If You Give an Author a Pencil , her biography which is written so that children as young as nine can enjoy reading about her background.

Laura has received many awards including a California Young Reader Medal, a Colorado Children's Book Award, Georgia Children's Picture Storybook Award, Nevada Young Readers' Award, Buckeye Children's Book Award, Quill Award and The Milner Award. Her books have been honored in other ways. Oprah choose two of them for her Kid's Reading List and Laura Bush invited her to the White House to be honored for the "If You Give a..." Series.

Felicia Bond also knew when she was a child of just five years old what she wanted to be. In her case, it was an artist. She has illustrated many children's books and written many of her own as well. She lives in New Mexico.
