I received a sample for this review/feature. Opinions expressed are my own.
I love reminding my girls they can achieve anything. Nothing like getting a little inspiration from a book. Piglet Bo Can Do Anything! by Geert De Kockere and illustrated by Tineke Van Hemeldonck is about Piglet Bo, the bravest and most determined little piglet with a heart set on adventure.
Can he walk on water? Can he widen the beach? Can he pluck a star from the sky? Piglet Bo can do all of these things and more. He leaps over tall grasses, blows down a forest, and walks out onto a long pier, as far as it will take him. He looks to the deep sea, and although the pier will take him no farther, Piglet Bo will not be stopped. ?I can go into the water,? he says. ?If I like. If I dare.? And with a leap of faith, he jumps.
Piglet Bo finds friends on his journey?a whale, a pigeon, a bull?and they inspire and help him when they can, but ultimately it takes courage and daring for Piglet Bo to attempt the impossible. Piglet Bo is the bravest and most determined little piglet, with a heart set on adventure. There are no limits to what he can do, and young readers will fall in love with his sweet and endearing resolve. Geert De Kockere writes Piglet Bo’s adventures in simple, playful language, filled with light humor. Tineke Van Hemeldonck’s brilliant mixed-media illustrations bring the story to life, and even the littlest readers will have fun spotting the elusive, lucky four-leaf clover hidden on each page.
This book is geared toward children ages 3?6 and both my 3 and 6 year old daughters love it! A fun read as we see how brave Piglet Bo is. The thing is we, as the readers, see that he has a whole lot of luck on his side!? The fun isn’t over as De Kockere and Van Hemeldonck will be continuing the Piglet Bo saga with Piglet Bo Is Not Scared, which will be hitting shelves in November. We can’t wait!
