Note: I received an F&G of this book at an ALA conference. ( )

Pig and Cat have fun playing together but when Pig meets Dog, Cat starts to feel left out.

This book has very simple sentences that will be helpful to new readers. The story is incredibly slight, with the problem easily resolved.

The illustrations are done in crayon and look like an 8-year-old drew them. Granted, an 8-year-old with some skill, but still. It was not my cup of tea. They do exactly show what is in the text, which will help beginning readers to decipher any words they may not know. ( )

simple story of friendship. ( )

Another book in the “I like to read” series. Pig and cat are best pals, that is until dog comes along. Emotions are well drawn in cats sadness and happiness when all three friends are playing together.
Lively colorful drawings which have a pencil/crayon look with lots of texture of the friends, make this a very fibrant beginning reader. Simple text, with repetition of easy sight words, would make this a successful read for an emerging reader.
Within this series it is a Level C book good for grades K-1 according to the publisher.
The reviewer had a hardback copy which is a larger size than the standard reader.
