Flip-a-Word: Pig Wig
Kindergarten-Grade 2–Children will be instantly attracted to the bold, colorful pictures in these books. Each title focuses on three different word families.Piglooks at words containing the letter combinations ig, ug, and at, whileSnakefeatures ake, oat, and ant. Peek-through pages transform illustrations to match the changing consonants (e.g., jig becomes dig). While most of the pages feature only one or two words, the last page of each section is a review of all the words from the family. The bright, flat illustrations outlined in black are reminiscent of the artwork in Dick Bruna's Miffy books (Kodansha America), but are more colorful. These titles could be used with beginner readers or as an introduction to rhyming words. Each one includes a page about word families that adults might find helpful. The appealing cartoon covers and die-cut pages guarantee circulation.–Danielle Nicole Du Puis, Forest Ridge Elementary School, Laurel, MDCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
