Just because the books in your current library have a high illustration to text ratio doesn’t mean you aren’t ready for a literary challenge.

David McPhail’s “Pigs Aplenty, Pigs Galore” ($6.99 at Amazon) was a gift from a dear friend (long before the babe was around!) and is – without question – one of our favorite books. The illustrations bring character and expression to each and every pig; the text offers a clever rhyme scheme that will hold your babe’s attention while offering your brain some mental gymnastics to get the wording right on memorization.
