The book I chose was called The Very Sleepy Pig and was written by John Malam.
The characters in this book included the: rooster, cow, sheep,
duck, hen, and the very sleepy pig. The setting of this story is a cute and cozy farm.
Basically what happens in this book, is the pig wakes up after every one has already taken
advantage of the morning farm. The cow has already eaten the grass, the chicken laid an egg
in the hay, and the duck washed its feet in the water. The pig gets annoyed that
everyone gets the best of the morning, so the next day he wakes up even before
the rooster has a chance to wake up all the other animals. This book, obviously, has animals
as characters. It teaches a lesson, while also using colourful illustrations.
I think this book would be perfect for children between the ages of 4 to 6, because they
have to start waking up early for school.
My favorite line in the book was,
"All the other animals would jump out of their beds straightaway.
But Pig just went on sleeping."
The photo! : ) I felt like I could have slept all day today, just like this sleepy pig...But alas, alarms. And school. And adulting.
