Book Descriptions
for Piglet and Granny by Margaret Wild and Stephen Michael King
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
Piglet and her Granny always have a grand time together. “Although Granny was soft and squishy, she was as lively as a family of leaping frogs.” As she waits for Granny to arrive for a visit, Piglet fills the time by balancing on top a rock wall, chasing butterflies, and somersaulting down a hill—all skills she’s learned from Granny, as she tells the passing animals who comment on her activities. When Granny does arrive, she has an excellent excuse for being tardy: She was constructing a “slippery, slithery mudslide” for the two of them to enjoy. Humorous watercolor and ink illustrations capture the special relationship between an adult and the child to whom she gives the gifts of attention and time. (Ages 2–5)
