The Pig in the Pond

by Martin Waddell

Ages 3–6 Reading age 5 Picture book Set in outdoors and wild places funnywarm

On the hottest day of the year the pig looks at the pond, and the pond looks cool, and pigs are absolutely not supposed to swim.

A story about animals and a grown-up hero, funny and warm in tone. We would put it with children of 3–6, and at a reading age of about 5 for reading alone.

Or let them write their own.

Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
