School Library Journal Review

K-Gr 2-Peggy the Pig tries not to get scared, but spooky noises get the better of her. First there is a tapping on her window, followed by a creaking on the stairs. And just as she calms down and is about to fall asleep, a white object in the window yowls. Poor Peggy is afraid, but she's brave enough to open the door when the bell rings, and lo and behold, she realizes that it is Halloween. Emerging readers will love reading sounds like "clunkity-clunk" and "creak" with expression and will enjoy the joke at the end. Amusing illustrations showing the fearful piglet with dark shadows looming add to the humor.-Anne Knickerbocker, formerly at Cedar Brook Elementary School, Houston, TX (c) Copyright 2010.
