I Love You like a Pig

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Greg Pizzoli. Using figurative language, especially similes (with an unusual twist), Barnett's declarative sentences express positive feelings and emotions toward another: "You're funny like a fossil"; "I love you like a pig." Sure, the statements don't make much sense, but their silly incongruousness is the chuckle-inducing point. Large typeface and early vocabulary paired with easily decipherable digital illustrations make for a smooth emerging-reader experience.
