Picture Book of the Day: 

This Little Piggy, written and illustrated by Tim Harrington


You know the old rhyme "This Little Piggy."  According to the inventive Harrington, the toes/piggies on the other foot have become jealous of the piggies who went to market and had roast beef.  So they go on their own adventures, even topping the antics of the classic piggies by doing such cool stuff as flying into outer space!  This inspires the other piggies to do even wilder stuff like become a Super Toe who can battle villains like the Smelly Sock.  It all ends peacefully and restfully, encouraging little ones to go wee wee wee, all the way asleep.  The kids in my storytime enjoyed this quite a bit.  These piggies/toes rock!
