Little Pig Saves the Ship

In Little Pig Saves the Ship by David Hyde Costello, Little Pig dreams of going to sailing camp with his brothers and sisters.  But, he is still too little to join in on the fun.  His brother, Tiny, gives him a piece of rope and a book about knot tying before he leaves.

Little Pig practiced his knotting skills every day.  He soon became bored and was delighted when his Poppy appeared asking for his help to complete a small, wooden boat.  Little Pig and Poppy worked tirelessly until the toy boat was completed.

The sea faring pair spent their days sailing the boat across the stream.  One day, a gust of wind blew the boat into the current and headed straight for a waterfall!  Will Poppy and Little Pig be able to reach the ship before it tumbles into the icy depths?

I found this to be an enchanting read.  I absolutely love the illustrations!  I also like how the illustrations vary in style from page to page. Some are full page spreads while others feature a single image on a mostly white page.  My favorite illustration is where Little Pig is teaching himself to tie knots.  The comic book style spread really captured my attention.

This story is a fantastic read for children ages 3 through 10.  Children will fall in love with Little Pig and cheer him on through out the book.  I cannot wait to see what adventure Little Pig will go on next!
