This book has a rollicking rhyme and rhythm! My brother and I used to see who could read the most in one breath. After a few reads, you'll find yourself answering people's questions (particularly ones about soap) with "Oofy Poofy, Nope!"

I had this book as a kid from the Weekly Reader Book Club, and since I donated all my childhood books a few years before I had my (surprise!) son, I've been finding and buying some of my old favorites for him. This really is a funny and very cute book! I bought it used, and it came in library binding in great condition! My son is just now turning 2, so it's a little long for him and he doesn't quite get the fun of it yet. I read it to him a few times and he didn't "get it" and got squirmy towards the end. So I would say it's definitely for kids a little older than him, probably closer to 4 and up. But I was excited to find it and have put it away for later when I know he'll get a kick out of it like I did! Overall, good price and good quality for a used and very cute book!

アメリカの高校に通っていた時、課題で幼稚園児に読み聞かせをするために選んだ本です。
日本語版は無いみたいで、日本で見かけることも無く、ずっと探してたんですけど
amazonにはありましたね。やっぱり。

ぺらぺらなつくりで、印刷も黒のほかは黄、緑、ピンク、茶の４色だけ。
簡単なつくりですがrhymeがたくさんでリズムもよく、
読み聞かせにはいいんじゃないかと思って選びました。

最初の１ページはこんな感じ
See the piggy,
See the puddle,
See the muddy little puddle,
See the piggy in the middle
of the muddy little puddle.
See her dawdle, see her diddle
in the muddy, muddy middle.
See her waddle, plump and little,
In the very merry middle.

響きが楽しくありませんか？
かわいいリトルピギーとお父さん、お母さん、お兄ちゃんが登場します。
英語も単語を少し調べれば誰でも読めそうだし、
子供ならフィーリングで楽しめるんじゃないかと思います。
ぜひ読んでみてください！
