The almost perfect book to read to a "creatively active" child. The only reason I say almost is because I can easily picture the book as a way of "raising the stakes." Can even hear my once young ones saying "Challenge accepted" ;-)
Mind you might make the perfect gift for the grands. Insert evil granny chortle

Karen Nagel must've taken some artistic liberty from Dav Pilkey cos her story Two Crazy Pigs is loosely borrowed, I think, from two crazy kids named George and Harold from the Captain Underpants novels. And still these little piggies are lovable enough to go to market any day of the week! The two oinkers are mischievous piggies who have fun giving the farm family a chicken run for the money. Then a new family tries to adopt them, only...they can't!! Because these are two WILD AND CRAZY PIGGIES!!! They're too cute and too fun in their love of chaos to belong to anyone else! Sweet drawings and cutesy prose that are guaranteed to make even harsh critics giggle! Sometimes something borrowed can be as well cherished as something new. Remember THAT now!
Four stars
The two piggies ROCK!

Teaches you a basic and fundamental human value that you will have friends and family only if you are not rude. No body would want to accompany you if you are not friendly.
It's explained in a very nice, subtle and funny way with animals to Kids (and for adults too) . A must read book.

More reviews (and no fluff) on the blog
The moral of the story is to be yourself. If that means you are a bit crazy, I guess that means you are crazy.
The story follows two crazy pigs and the silly antics they get into. The pigs are silly and do mischief but it is fun mischief (such as tickling chickens)and not scary or destructive. When they are forced to move to a neighboring farm with fun loving farmers, the animals on the previous farm miss them and aren't having any fun any more.
It is easy to read and the kids enjoy it. The pigs also look like they are having a good time. In all, an enjoyable and cute read and perfect for the beginner reader.
This is one part of a great series of early reading books: More Spaghetti I say, Two Crazy Pigs, Fraidy Cats, and The Day the Dog Said Cock a Doodle Doo!. I recommend all of them for their appropriate vocabulary, sentence length, reinforced learning through creative repetition, and beautiful bright illustrations.

Sort of a fun story--two pigs get rejected from their farm for being too obnoxious and messy. They find a new farm where the farmers love them despite their chaos. The animals from the original farm will no longer cooperate with the farmers since they miss their pig friends, so those farmers move to the city and all of the other animals move to the new farm with the pigs. A good message about loving others despite their messes, but I am a neat freak so I found myself wincing!

This is a book my daughter chose for story time the other day. Didn't even know we had a copy! Cute, silly, enjoyable for the kids, but just plain fluff. There is nothing in this book that would make me recommend it.

I have to give it five stars because my son adored it when he was around three. He thought it was hilarious! He is five now and still enjoys it.

This was my absolute favorite book in 1st grade! When I was a Junior in High School I went back to check it out from the Elementary library and enjoyed it all over again :-)

Another great book about being yourself, no matter what others might think. With simple sentences this book is perfect for the beginning reader.

I think the pigs are crazy and funny because they put mud on the farmer and tickled the chicken.
