Description

Ransom's most popular books and the favourite of readers everywhere. The Pig reading books all feature Peter Ian Green - although everybody calls him Pig, even his teachers. These stories are in the form of a 'handwritten' first person diary. They combine laugh out loud humour with poignant tales of friendship and overcome reluctance to read at a stroke. The PIG Collection includes all 18 reading books in the series.

Reviews

“Year 7 boy had never finished a book before in his life. He’s now finished 6 PIG books just this half tem and told me today his family are celebrating. Thanks Ransom!” Eileen on Twitter

 

“The new [PIG] titles arrived today...We had advance requests for them – a first for any reluctant reader book.” – Sandra, Team Librarian

 

“The children really enjoyed reading these stories. There was a lot of giggling as the children were reading...would recommend them to others.” Miss Wiseman and her Year 3 class, in Kidaround, Issue 51

 

“I think these books really hit many buttons...Barbara Catchpole has reduced a series which has reduced the threat of being stigmatised [in the classroom].” - Liz is the Librarian, 5 out of 5 stars

 

“[PIG books] give believable home and school life, funny situations, and often touch on the inner feelings of the character, which can often be overlooked...in similar books. Being the parent of a dyslexic child, I know how hard it is to find books that are both enjoyable to read and of a suitable length to maintain reading momentum and this series seems to strike a good balance.” – Jan, parent

 

“I think PIG is an amazing book! It is so funny I was laughing out loud. I don’t remember books I don’t like but PIG is something I remember all of.” – Bunny, aged 10

 

“We read ‘PIG and the Long Fart’ out loud to secondary age students for World Book Day yesterday – the students were engaged and laughing out loud (me too!)” – Gaynor, Teacher
