Welcome to Litsy!

Hey! Just checking in to let everyone know all is well! Just haven‘t been doing any reading at all - my minimal brain power and energy has been put towards nesting and getting ready for baby Benjamin.💙

Time is such a crazy thing. I‘ve been pregnant for three seasons, but yet it feels like no time at all, and also not soon enough until we meet him.😊

I‘ve been working on building up his little library, with my favourite book being Pig the Pug.🐶

Just a tiny bit dark in tone, something the adults can appreciate in picture books. Not quite 'original Grimm's fairy tales' type ending, but certainly leans toward delivering a dire fate to the wrong doer as a moral lesson to readers.
Whether depicting the greedy character as fat is the wrong kind of messaging to send to kids today, feels sadly like a question that was just emerging into the mainstream when this book was first published.

Here is a collection of the #childrensbooks I got through very late last night. I have been wanting to check out the Pig the Pug series for a while now, and it did not disappoint. 😂 +241 points for #TBRReads

Review: Pig the Pug by Aaron Blabey, 2015 is a picture book about a greedy pug named Pig. He doesn't like to share and eventually learns his lesson. It's a very funny book with hilarious pictures and phrases.
Blurb: This book is a good one for a read aloud as well because of the character you can put into Pig when he speaks. It's a very fun and unique book.
Quote: “Well, Pig flipped his wig.“

Pig the Pug is a Fictional book by Aaron Blabey. It tells the tale of a quirky, yet selfish pug who learns the hard way how to share. With a strong message of kindness, this book is perfect for teaching all students CSEFEL otherwise known as social-emotional development strategies. Also great for a RA. Linked is an activity that would pair well with the book for after reading.

Who doesn‘t want a little up-in-your-face picture of a little pug today? Theo is 2 today and he got some extra veggies today! He‘s my little Ground Hog Day Pug! 💜🎂🎊🎉🎊🎁

I‘m a little disappointed in how I‘ve managed the readathon. But I have an adorable picture of Theo! 😱💕 #pugsoflitsy

#postsofdistraction @kaye Munchie always makes me smile when I‘m feeling anxious so hope this helps!

Theo is so excited for his new stufty and some yummy treats!!! They came with a sweet card from Pickles, Michele and Johanna. He says thank you as he is currently trying to break the squeaker in his new toy! 😂🤪 Thank you so much @MicheleinPhilly for the wonderful gift from the three of you!!! So thoughtful!

Theo is shaking with excitement for a special package that just came in the mail from another doggie on Litsy!!! (My husband actually thought it was funny when he noticed that it was addressed to Theo Anderson!!! 💕 @MicheleinPhilly

This fictional book by Aaron Blabey is a good edition to any Kindergarten- 2nd grade classroom library. It received picture book of the year in 2005. We follow the adventures of Pig and his relationship with Trevor. Pig isn‘t so nice, and eventually, he gets a taste of his own medicine and gets put in Trevor‘s shoes. www.thelittlereadingroom.com.au/book-review/pig-the-pug/ has several great activities to do with kids after this read aloud!

As soon as I saw the picture of Theo I thought of this book. If you haven‘t seen it you should check it out. There is a series with this cutie.

I‘m so happy she‘s a reader! One of the first things she asked for was books to read. #grandchildrensareawesome

#ucflae3414f17 Pig the Pug by Aaron Blabey is an easy reader great for Pre K through 1st grade classroom libraries. This F book is about a greedy pug who never wants to share his toys with his housemate Trevor (a wiener dog). The illustrations are hilarious! Young readers will enjoy this funny story as they learn a valuable lesson about sharing. I think that this book would be perfect for storytelling, kids would love to see this performed!

Pig the Pug is an iconic character that came to life in this book. In this F story, Pig doesn‘t want to share any of his toys no matter what Trevor suggested. This book use rhyming and funny anecdotes to teach the theme that when we share, life can be so much more fun! In this activity, students need to think about a time they didn‘t want to share and why: https://romisharp.wordpress.com/2014/09/29/pig-the-pug-teaching-notes/

Pig is a pug who just doesn‘t share. You can beg, and plead, but he just doesn‘t care! This MF picture book is a cute story that I would love to see as a RT. It teaches about sharing, and I believe students would love the story. https://romisharp.wordpress.com/2014/09/29/pig-the-pug-teaching-notes/ provides information on the book, questions to ask before, during, and after reading, and a writing excercise you could provide after!

Unfortunately my kids are too old for me to buy them this book. However, they are not too old to laugh at it when I foisted it upon them in the comics section of Barnes & Noble. The illustrations are hysterical! #dogdays #kidlit #anditsaugust
