Another HUGE hit, enormously loved by my class of six- and seven-year-olds! Fans of Preston Pig expect great things of each new adventure. And no one is disappointed here, in the seventh in the series, as Preston continues his friendship with Max, his holiday girlfriend, through lively letter-writing. Adults privileged to share this book with a child will enjoy lots of chuckles, in text and pictures. There are a couple of references to Beatles’ songs (She loves you, yeah, yeah yeah.). There is the holiday romance … (will it last?) … whilst McNaughton’s usual visual jokes litter each page. Once introduced, Preston Pig seems to remain a firm favourite over several years. All the books are readily accessible to the pre-school child, but still enjoyed by the 8-80s group! A must for every KS1 classroom and library, as well as the home bookshelf.
