This is a great series and this book specifically is fun to read. It is nice for younger kids because there are not too many words on each page but the sentence and phrases are very expressive. It is also a great book for early readers, for the same reason. My four year old and six year old both enjoy this series, and this particular book. My six year old is able to read this book on his own and that is great because it boosts his confidence in himself and his reading being able to read an entire book cover to cover by himself. It is also interesting and has a beginning, middle, end, so there is motivation for him to continue reading to find out what comes next! These books are also great if you can buy the English version as well as the Russian version. It is great for teaching languages because there are not too many words and the phrases are fairly simple so you can read the books in both languages and help the child understand the concepts and language. In our home we love Piggy and Elephant! :-)
