If You Give A Pig A Pancake What Do You Think Is Going To Happen?
If You Give A Pig A Pancake is the 1998 If You Give A... series book written by Laura Numeroff and illustrated by Felicia Bond. If you loved the first book, called If You Give A Mouse A Cookie, you're going to love the antics of the cute little female pig in If You Give A Pig A Pancake. This cute little pig creates lots of work which the little girl does willingly, another enjoyable book with another of my favorite foods as a theme. Yes, I love homemade pancakes,and I want syrup on mine, too...
If You Give A Pig A Pancake Book Review
Written by Laura Numeroff and Illustrated by Felicia Bond

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

Who is Laura Joffe Numeroff? Why She's The Author Of The If You Give A Pig A Pancake Book!

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.

The If You Give A Pig a Pancake Giftset with Plush Pig Can Be Hard To Find
(But it wouldn't be hard to create your own set with this cute little pig by Ty and a copy of the book!)
Ty Sniffs - Pig
Amazon Price: $7.00 (as of 11/29/2009)![]()
The actual giftset appears to be somewhat hard to find and when it is available, this scarcity tends to drive the price up. However, I think it would be quite reasonable and easy to create your own If You Give A Pig A Pancake giftset by picking an adorable plush pig like this one and adding a copy of the book.
