A phonics reader, with fold out flap facility about a pig that gets the opportunity to dig for...hmm...what...exactly?An attractive cover opens to good quality, numbered, shiny finish pages in double spread format with endearing illustrations throughout & 3 sturdy fold-out flap opportunities.Relatively simple text, with plenty of repetition of words, e.g.:'Big Pig gets a letter.Big Pig sees the hat.There is a map in the hat.Big Pig runs to Fat Cat."Fat Cat! Look at the map in this hat.""It shows where to dig, Fat Cat."...'Big Pig is excited about the dig, but as Fat Cat is feeling lazy, he sets about it himself! So what does Big Pig find, eventually...and why is Fat Cat a bit smug?From Usborne Publishing, this book is part of a series, further enhanced by the little yellow duck 'hiding' on each page ~ younger children love to find it on every turn, in my experience.Also, the books have a 'familiar feel', with the presence of characters from the other titles in the series, further aiding recognition skills and confidence building.
