When Pigs Fly: A Fun Picture and Learning Book for Pre-Schoolers and Kindergartners

By Tom Krengel

Why Flying Pigs?Over the past 200+ years other creatures have been cited in similar phrases - 'snails may fly', 'cows might fly' etc., but it is pigs that have stood the test of time - maybe because the image evoked is one of an animal particularly ill-suited for flight.Goals for "When Pigs Fly"I thought by borrowing the concept of a complete impossibility - a flying pig - then expanding it into a menagerie of other animals could be a hoot for pre-schoolers and kindergartners. And as every parent of a preschooler or kindergartner knows, this age group shares a keen appreciation for silly characters and situations. So if a flying pig can be funny, then a snake that bakes cupcakes, or an ape lifting weights can also be.In addition to showcasing some really great illustrations, I also wanted to provide parents and guardians with a clever way to reinforce a few core, early learning skills, specifically shape, colors, and counting. So included on every full-page illustration are smaller images that are cues to further engage those wonderful, developing minds.
