If You Give A Pig A Party

For my next outside reading I choose a book called "If You Give A Pig A Party" The book starts out with "If you give a pig a party, she's going to ask for some balloons". It goes on to talk about all the things this little pig is going to want, such as putting on a dress and going to a fair, after she gets the balloons. The book ends with "If you give her some balloons, she's going to ask you for a party". I think this book is probably pretty entertaining and funny to young children. However, when I read it, I saw it from a different point of view. I see this little pig representing a little girl. Now this little girl just wants more and more. This book represents the fact that children do not have boundries and always want more and more. We should be teaching children not to be greedy in books instead of encouraging them to ask for more things!
