Piggity-Wiggity Jiggity Jig by Diana Neild
Wednesday 20th August 2008 at 10.30am
Library Week’s ever popular read-aloud event is back again and libraries all across the country will be reading Piggity-Wiggity Jiggity Jig by New Zealand author Diana Neild.
Piggity-Wiggity is a wonderful read-aloud rhyme and rhythm story that trips off the tongue with fun language and sophisticated vocabulary and charming illustrations by Philip Webb.
When Piggity-Wiggity Jiggity Jig complains to his dad about the length of his name his Dad explains that he and his wife felt that their large family of four boys and four girls was missing something. When Piggity-Wiggity came along, they were so delighted that they wanted to give him an extra-special, musical, heroic sort of name. Piggity-Wiggity goes to sleep well satisfied with the explanation for his extraordinary name.
Parents, bring your children and their friends along to share a story during Library Week and find out if there is a special guest reading the story at your library!
We have 5 copies of Piggity-Wiggity Jiggity Jig to give away. To enter the draw and win a copy of the story email and tell us where Piggity-Wiggity's family lives
