A Vroom and a Zoom by Emma J. Virján book review

A Pig in a Wig book- What This Story Needs is a Vroom and a Zoom by Emma J. Virján  


This book was mailed to my sweet little reader with a note and some stickers.  When we finish reading the book and reread the note, she puts everything away neatly in the envelope and hides it in her room because it's so special.  Each time we read it, we go through it at least five times.  So, I would say she enjoys it very much. This is a great buy for a preK - 1 school library collection.  I think young readers will enjoy the whole series.  If you happen to be in an IB school, it's perfect for introducing PYP students to the Learner Profile attribute of being a risk-taker.  Pig is bold and determined.

Pig in a Wig is back! This time, Pig wakes up, goes "rushing to her car, dashing into place," for a big race. Pig takes the lead and it's very exciting. Young readers will gasp at the suspense and teamwork will pay off in the end.  The brightly colored illustrations and fun rhymes will make this an attractive pick for the youngest readers.  It makes for a good read aloud.  It is also a good book to ask young readers to retell it in their own words.


I had to record the excitement of reading this book because that is a better book review than I could ever write 😊
