The Painted Pig door Elizabeth Morrow

ccarpe13 | 4 andere besprekingen | Sep 17, 2015 | I liked reading The Painted Pig, A Mexican Picture book because of the unique illustrations and symbolism. The yellow pig in the book resembles a popular Mexican toy well liked by Pita and her younger brother Pedro. Pedro wanted to play with Pita’s unique and decorative yellow pig, but she was nervous he’d break it. The siblings then began the adventure to find the same yellow pig for Pedro to have one of his own. The illustrations provide great graphics showing emotion and detail. I like how each picture is provided with a one-line sentence explaining what is happening in the picture. One picture shows Pita with her mouth open as she is talking to her yellow pig. The caption below states, “Pita explained where they were going.” The only thing that may distract kids when reading is the long paragraphs on each page. There are many words on each page; however, next to each page provides a graphic.

This is the story of Pita and Pedro, who are two young siblings. Pita has a beautiful piggy bank that has a blue rose for the tail. Pedro thinks that Pita's pig is better than any toy he has and he begs Pita to play with it. Pita constantly refuses to let him play with her pretty pig because she doesn't want it to get broken. They go into town to the market to try to get the toy maker to make Pedro his own but week after week and promise after promise, he never brings one. Pedro grew discouraged and decided to make his own with mud. Pita waited all day for the finished product and it turned out to look nothing like a pig. The next week they went back to the market and to their surprise the toy maker had Pedro a pig of his own. Pedro was very happy about getting his very own pig.
Personal Reaction:
I found it easy to relate to this book because I know what it is like to want something and have to wait and work for it.
Extension Ideas:
1. I think this would be a great book to introduce when talking about multicultures and incorperating how we are all different.
2. This would be a good book to read when teaching about being patient.

shanda1021 | 4 andere besprekingen | Sep 4, 2011 | A Mexican brother and sister named Pita and Pedro are playing with toys. Pedro asked hid sister if he can play with her yellow pig. Pita doesn't want him to play with it because he might break it. Pita tells Pedro that they will go to the market and buy him one from the toy maker. Pedro asked the toy maker to make a pig exactly like Pita's. Pita and Pedro keep going back to the market and every time the toy maker tries to give Pedro a different toy. But Pedro really wants a pig like Pita's so he tries to make his own pig out of clay. Pedro's pig comes out looking like an elephant. One day they are out playing with toys. The toy maker finally comes to them with a yellow pig that looks a little different from Pita's. The toy maker said it would be crazy to make the exact same pig. Pedro loves his new pig.
This book was very colorful. It was interesting to learn about the pig toys in that culture.
The class could make their own pigs. And discuss the differences in toys and cultures.

AliciaMJ | 4 andere besprekingen | Oct 24, 2010 | This is the first book I ever checked out of the public library. I was about 5 years old. My dad said I could pick out one book. I saw this on display--it had a very colorful jacket, so I chose this one. My dad checked out Curious George for my brother. After I got home with this, I was so disappointed. It was written in 1930, by Elizabeth Morrow (Anne Morrow Lindbergh's mother), who was a poet. I'm sure back in 1930, it was a great children's book, but in 1964, it wasn't such a great book any more. I was bored stiff. The pictures are ugly and the whole story is about a little girl and little boy fighting over toys. I had enough of that in my own real life. I jealously wanted to read my brother's Curious George book (a much better story). Anyway, why do I have this book in my library? Because it's the first one I ever checked out and it was also a lesson to me to always choose wisely.½
