5.0 out of 5 stars A delightful adventure

This was one of my daughter's favorite books when she was little. I got her a copy for going away to college. She adores it. Such a wonderful book, and wonderful stories that kids remember for years and years.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite of the series - wonderful for kids and adults
Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2008

I love all the Poppleton story books. They're a ton of fun to read out loud to my pre-schooler, and she adores them, too. I really love that the simple text is witty and amusing, so that I really enjoy reading it. (There are too many tedious, predictable children's books out there!)

This one is my favorite of the series. It's sweet how the characters interact, and there are some wonderfully funny bits, such as Poppleton saying "I can be such a pig", when admitting that he has been wearing the same sweater for three days, and characters repeatedly asking Poppleton "Where are your lips?" after they turn outside-in from eating a grapefruit.

The illustrations in all the books are lovely - detailed, good color choices and all around charming.

For anybody looking for something somewhat similar but with more text per page, I recommend the Gilbert series of books by Diane deGroat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Poppleton and Hudson learn from the old ladies

More entertaining short stories of the silly pig, Poppleton and his friends. This book contains three short stories, The Shore Day, Dry Skin, and Grapefruit. The grandkids always giggle when I read them the adventures of Poppleton and his real life experiences and this one is no disappointment. I love the simple, coordinating illustrations which help the young readers figure out what the text would be.

We bought 3 of these books for our granddaughter's birthday. They were given to her early by her mother. What can I say?
They are fun books and we are kids at heart. Thank you for the great service and the books.

The books are fine, just they are very short. For the price I would rather have bought my students longer books like the Magic Treehouse series.

I fell in love with Poppleton in a previous book and enjoyed revisiting him. I particularly like the author's sense of humour.
