Super book is Suddenly!!! - Rated
Disaster waits in the form of a wild-eyed, drooling wolf, but you couldn't prove it by Preston the Pig. Children meet him on his way home from school, the wolf's shadow lurking ominously behind him "when SUDDENLY!" the young porker remembers his mother had asked him to go to the store. Many more hilariously breathtaking moments follow as he unknowingly foils the predator. Colin McNaughton peppers the narrative with big, bold use of the word "SUDDENLY," and readers are sure they will turn the page to discover fat little Preston locked in the beast's mangy jaws. Instead, the wolf encounters one disaster after another: falling off the school roof; swallowing a big, tough bully; and crashing a steamroller into a wall. When the pig arrives home, it looks like he may meet his nasty fate as a strangely lupine silhouette lurks at the kitchen sink. True to Preston's luck, it is only his mother, who turns around to give him a big hug. Young readers will delight in knowing more than the happily oblivious porcine hero. This story will make a good combination with other fairy tales in which all the pigs might not experience such a happy ending, and is a refreshing relief from the classic tale where the only way to save your hide is to be smart, industrious, and build a very strong house. Brilliantly fun that's perfect for young audiences. I liked this book a lot when I was 5 and I still like it now even though I am 10! I am sure that even grown ups as old as 100 (and beyond) will love the humour in this hilarious work of genius. So, if you see you now know you should take hold of it and take it home, make a cup of tea and enjoy it.
Orange class book review - Rated
This is a fantastic funny book! We like this book because of the characters Preston Pig and Mister Wolf. We think children between four and eight would really enjoy this book. Our favourite part is ehrn Mister Wolf is kicked out of the shop for trying to eat Preston! This made us laugh!

This book is very useful for predictive work. It easy to encourage children to talk about 'what happens next..?'. With the illustrations telling a different story than the text, it leads itself to discussions about how pictures tell stories too. Useful for beginner readers and for more able readers. It has a very similar theme to 'Rosie's Walk' by Pat Hutchins.
funny, witty and imaginative. - Rated
This book is funny and imaginative and a keeps you guessing book, does Preston know he's being followed?, will the wolf "get him", the children love it!
