Chronicle Conducive To Books The Wonderful Pigs of Jillian Jiggs (Jillian Jiggs)
I've been going back to read old picture books from my childhood lately, and The Wonderful Pigs of Jillian Jiggs is one such excellent example of Canadian talent and a fun little story about using talent and imagination to build something fun and incredible. Following a little girl whose hobby of making stuffed toy pigs in a variety of styles takes off as a business, The Wonderful Pigs of Jillian Jiggs copy that I have also includes instructions in the back for readers to make their own customized toy pig to reflect their personality.The illustrations in the book are wonderful, and more than that The Wonderful Pigs of Jillian Jiggs teachers both young and old readers alike to be thrifty and enjoy making things. In an age where kids are glued to their cell phones (why a three-year-old would have their own phone is totally beyond me but that's another story), it's nice to go back to a story that promotes being imaginative and creating things for yourself. Jillian eventually becomes too attached to her beloved toy pigs to sell them, so she teaches people how to make their own, starting a whole new fad. It's a fun little story and Phoebe Gilman really knows how to make it memorable.

Always always wanted to make my own pigs after reading this oneI was in love with these pigs when I was a kid! I always wanted to make my own.
Cute and fun to read out loud.
I just saw the cover and had a recovered memory from my childhood of my sister, mom, and I making dozens of pigs. This was one of my favorite books and I had forgotten all about it!

A childhood favourite of mine...especially because there was pig named Miranda! I remember Ms. Gilman came to my school to sign books but didn't get a chance to see everyone who waited in line for her, including me. I forged my own signature in my copy of the book hoping to fool everyone. Looking at it now, it makes me laugh at the childish purple marker smeared with a stick figure pig and the misspelling of the author's name on the inside cover.I hope the future generations of children are
One of my absolute favorite books growing up. I felt like Jillian probably because teachers almost always pronounced my name like that when they saw it.
