Our featured book for this week is “What This Story Needs is a Pig in a Wig” by Emma J. Virjan.
This book is an endearing story about friendship that starts with, as the title says a Pig in a Wig. Friendship is a great theme for younger readers. This book also effectively uses a lot of rhyming and rhythm, which is great for linguistic and cognitive development.
Scholastic recommends this book for children age 6-7 but it is also good as a read aloud with younger children as it includes vibrant pictures, animals, and as previously mentioned, rhyming words.
