People love a comedy of errors. Perhaps the most delighted audience is the youngest; toddlers love hearing mistakes and correcting them. It's a surefire hit for their certain sense of humor, and Sandra Boynton exploits this beautifully in this small board book. Just a few set-up lines and Boynton is ready for the book's main joke:
"A cow says Moo."
"A sheep says Baa."
"Three singing pigs say La La La!"
"'No, no!' you say, 'that isn't right.
The pigs say Oink all day and night.'"
Practice your dramatic abilities and really ham it up when you read the singing pigs and "that isn't right" lines on pages 3 and 4. Boynton's familiar style is whimsical and slightly tongue-in-cheek. Her animals have very expressive, human-looking emotions, conveyed mostly through the eyes. For example, a quacking duck and a neighing horse aren't intrinsically very interesting, but when they're facing each other with similarly baffled faces, there's a subtle humor. The singing pigs, by the way, are anything but subtle. They're pizzazed out in coordinating striped pants, solid sports coats, and elegant white bow ties. They excited pigs dance in unison and hold canes in a showy vaudeville style. For a short and simple board book aimed at the very young, this is lots of fun. For older toddlers, take a look at Boynton's counting book with a difference: "Hippos Go Berserk!" She knows and loves her animals, and so will your little one.

My daughter is now seventeen. This is one of a dozen or so of her old books that we can still recite. And when one of us does it's always good for a grin, even without the pictures. I loved all of Boynton's books, shirts, calendars, potholders (ok, so she and I've both been around a while) and kitchen towels. |

This book is a favorite in our house. When I ask my 16 month old to bring me a book to read, she almost always brings this one. She laughs at the sounds the animals say and loves the "3 Singing Pigs Sing La, la, la" part! The words and pictures are simple but cute--perfect for a toddler. There is rhyme, rhythm, and silliness - all musts for a good toddler book. It's been a fun read for us and is highly recommended! |

We can't get this book out of our heads! It's extremely catchy and an enjoyable read for us and our daughter. And she always laughs when we get to the last page (she's only 12 months old...) Definitely one of our favorites! |

A terrific engaging book for any child, young or old! My 2-year old loves it, and my 7 month old loves it! My Tripp and Luke have begun to develop a sense of humor -realizing that "three singing pigs" could simply not say la la la! While at the zoo's farm exhibit - our 2-year old said, "mom, these pig's can't say la la la! " We all laughed. We use this book as a night time quiet time book - because of the ending - "it's quiet now, what do you say?" We have begun using this line as an invitation to talk about our day, what we've learned, and the mistakes we made. It has become very engaging for our 2-year old to feel free to say what is on his mind.
