What This Story Needs Is a Hush and a Shush

(4) K-3 Pig in a Wig Book series. Noisy animals impose upon red-wig-sporting Pig's bedtime until she sends them away one by one (Hush). Pig unpacks for a picnic, then repacks when it rains (Munch). Each rhyming text follows a predictable pattern and incorporates repetition to support beginning readers. Digitally painted charcoal sketches add mild humor, but Virján's first Pig in a Wig book contained more quirky, kid-pleasing details. Review covers the following titles: What This Story Needs Is a Hush and a Shush and What This Story Needs Is a Munch and a Crunch.
