Publisher's Weekly Review

Little Pookie's thin fifth outing feels like a belated introduction to the character, as his mother details 10 things about her beloved little one. "1. You like macaroni./ 2. You're suspicious of peas./ 3. You are happy outdoors with your ears in the breeze," Little Pookie's mother says, as the piglet sits on a tree swing. It's a marginal addition, but Little Pookie's toddler personality still shines. Up to age 3. (Aug.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.

School Library Journal Review

Baby-Toddler-Boynton's ode to the parent/child bond is utterly sweet but never saccharine. Whether Little Pookie, an overall-clad anthropomorphic piglet, is fretting, dancing, or getting ready for bed, his mother is right by his side to put things right or share in his joy. Narrated by Mommy, the energetic rhyming text is reassuring, with a dash of whimsy. Marked by lively linework, endearingly expressive characters, and an appealing solidity, the art is sure to entice. Must-have additions to any board book collection.-Mahnaz Dar, School Library Journal © Copyright 2018. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
