The niche of children's picture e-books needs more stories like this one. Beautifully illustrated with a clever storyline, my children and I enjoyed reading this book together. Molly is a smart pig who figures out how to help the family farm.

This whimsical story puts you in the mind of Charlotte's Web. I love the page at the end that is all about Ireland. The illustrations are very sweet.

This is the type of books my 3 year old granddaughter loves. At this age they need a lot of visual to keep their attention. The illustrations in this book are amazing.

The story is original, much like that of "Charlotte's Web". I had both my children sitting quietly listening and enjoying it. It is a book to encourage creative thinking.

SOLVING PROBLEMS

Whisk away to the Emerald Isle for a lesson in creative thinking.

Molly is a clever pig. She can dance an Irish jig, balance a tin plate on her head, and catch a ball in midair.

But can Molly help rescue the O'Malley farm from its financial woes? That, thinks young Miles O'Malley, would take the talents of a magician.

Molly is no magician, but her great ideas for solving problems work like magic! This is the story of how Molly conjures carloads of tourists and sends them flocking to the rescue of the O'Malley family and their Seaside Tea Garden.

British-born author Penelope Paine has written this tale of creative thinking with humor and warmth. And Molly's story is wondrously illustrated by Itoko Maeno, who has created meticulously detailed glimpses into the rural life of western Ireland-from the cozy O'Malley kitchen to the rugged countryside of County Mayo.

This story of a problem-solving pig teaches us all that adversity may sometimes be overcome with a special kind of "magic."

A SURPRISE and added bonus is the "Enrichment Information" which includes lots of facts about daily life in rural Ireland. There are colorful thumbnail sketches of the Irish Tin Whistle, Symbols of Ireland, Peat Fires, Sheep and Cattle, Tea Times, Soda Bread (including a recipe!) Pigs and Collies and Visitors! This is fascinating detail that did not make it into the story itself, but is very rich in interesting description.

A second big plus is the "Letter to Parents and Educators" which includes many relevant questions and comments to facilitate conversation with young readers about the message of the story...using ingenuity and creative thinking to solve problems. So even though on the surface, this is just an enaging story for children, it is also truly helpful in a real way.
