Customer Reviews

Great for teaching manners to preschoolers!

When I'm reading "Perfect Pigs" to my preschoolers, I give Mr. Perfect Pig a pompous, know-it-all personality. They like to catch him tracking mud through the house or leaving sandwich fixings all over the counter for someone else to clean up. Then they all tell Mr. Perfect Pig how he should act in each situation. I like the way it is divided into categories such as home, school, with friends. I think they also like the comic strip type layout.

Great book

My boys love this book..it's funny and helps to teach them essential manners at the same time. We have the softcover and I wish I had bought the hardcover so it would last longer.

Im very polite now

I heard all about this book from my friend, the soy sauce. I read it and learned a lot about manners. Before I read this, I would roll around in the mud before school, but not anymore! I learned that was a no no. I would also snort and chew with my mouth open when I ate. Heck when i saw somebody with a lunch i wanted, I would dive onto the table screaming like all hell broke loose and tackle the person, steal thier lunch, and run away. But not I know its not polite to scare the crap outa people to get thier lunch. Streaking in the hallways is also looked down upon. Who woulda known?

Manners & Character Education

As part of our school counseling program and character education program, I read Perfect Pigs to my students. This is a fun book and gives the students a different viewpoint on manners. It also helps me promote reading and literature with the students.
