Piglet Bo Is Not Scared! by Geert De Kockere Book Review

Piglet Bo Is Not Scared!
by Geert De Kockere (Author), Tineke Van Hemeldonck (Illustrator)

Book Description

Piglet Bo insists that he is not scared. Not scared of anything and not scared of anyone. And if you think he seems scared, well, you’re misunderstanding the situation. Really, Piglet Bo can’t go into the dark cave because he doesn’t want to disturb the bats. And he can’t go into the deep pit because he’s pretty sure the termites are having a birthday party and it would be rude to show up without a gift. But what are those shadows lurking on each page? How long can Piglet Bo’s excuses last?

Geert De Kockere’s whimsical story will capture the hearts of children and adults alike. This playful tale of a pig who just can’t admit he’s afraid is sure to get kids laughing out loud. Tineke Van Hemeldonck’s uniquely evocative mixed-media illustrations bring Piglet Bo Is Not Scared! to life and give it an imaginative, quirky feel. This charming story is for ages three and up.

My Review:
Piglet Bo Is Not Scared! by Geert De Kockere is the perfect book for kids for kids 3 and up! My daughters love this book. We have another Piglet Bo book so my kids were thrilled to read this one. Piglet Bo isn't scared of the dark cave, he just doesn't want to disturb the bats. This playful tale of a pig who just can’t admit he’s afraid is adorably cute and gave my kids a few laughs. By the end of the book Piglet Bo is finally ready to admit that maybe, just maybe he's a tiny bit scared. Such a fun book! My kids also enjoyed finding the wolf shadow hiding on each page. The illustration are fun and match the story perfectly!
