Series Review: A Pig Called PeteThese delightful books can support learning in many ways. With several words in each title that use the same initial sound, the books are excellent tools for fostering phonological awareness and later on for teaching alliteration and other devices that writers employ when considering word choices. That said, each title succeeds on its own as an entertaining story about an endearing pig who is purple rather than pink, who is fastidious instead of dirty, and who puts to rest the notion that pigs cant fly. Pete visits many famous spots around the globe, opening the possibility for all kinds of geography lessons. In Cat, the pig sees his hopes and dreams almost dashed when he discovers that his new friend, Kitty, cannot fly and must decide whether flying or friendship is more important. In Dog, he must deal with the challenges of a three-way relationship as he watches Doug and Kitty fly off together in a balloon. Hilarious cartoon illustrations and simple but imaginative story lines will keep listeners engaged and coming back for more porcine adventures.School Library JournalRL
