Amanda Pig, School Girl

My 6 year old daughter loves this whole series. Very cute and easy to read.

Great to read to your preschoolers

My 2- and 4- year-olds really liked this book. They both seemed captivated by the bright, interesting pictures and the interesting stories. I especially like the fact that Amanda was interested and excited about attending school, that her brother helped her out on the first day of class, and that she (Amanda) tried to alleviate the anxiety of one of her classmates. Overall, the book teaches great morals.

A Great Choice to Help Get Ready for School

We gave this book to our daughter just before she started kindergarten. It was perfect. The experiences that Amanda had with riding the bus and making friends helped her get ready for her own new adventures. The lighthearted easy-to-read pages made reading the book fun for her and the chapter book format was a terrific introduction to this style of reading. She read the book over and over and over again, giving her lots of practice before school even began. We love Amanda Pig!
