(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Graham Philpot & Graham Philpot. This version of Carlo Collodi's classic work is printed in a large typeface on oversize pages, giving the volume a reader-friendly appearance. The retold prose satisfactorily relates the adventures of the puppet who wanted to be a boy but serves mainly as a showcase for Philpot's charming, impressively detailed illustrations.

(3) PS In this lift-the-flap book, five little pigs and their mother play hide-and-seek. Harry, the littlest pig, is hiding somewhere on the farm, but each time his brothers and sisters think that they have found him they turn out to be mistaken. Readers participate in the search as they lift flaps (and flaps behind flaps) to try to find Harry. Cheerful, animated illustrations add to the tale's appeal.
