Thank you Netgalley and to the author for letting me read this book for an honest review.

So, I dont have many ebooks for my little ones so I thought netgalley would be a nice place to go to help new authors and get a book to read for my babies before bed.

While for me, the art was a little on the rough side, the story itself made my girls happy. They love farm animals and space so it was a combination of their favorite things. It was a quick read and the colors were bright.

Moon Pig is a fantastic little picture book about a pig who wants to go to the moon. The illustrations are simple but effective. My 4 year old son loves space and everything related to it and loved this book so much that he requested I read it to him three times in one sitting.

Thank you to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for my ARC.

A pig uses its imagination to travel to the moon. The simple pictures and text along with the subject of many kids' fascination makes this a great story to read in circle time or at home before bed. My critique is that the author chose to make this story about a pig. Many books are either white-centric or talking animals that present with the dominant culture. Having authors and illustrators purposefully choose to change this narrative is imperative to increasing the number of mirrors children who aren't white experience in the books they read.

We need books that are universal and diverse.

I understand the author had a vision, but it didn't seem relevant to the story that was told.

I think this book will be popular with families, children, and teachers. The illustrations are inviting and the story is one of creativity and imaginiation.

My granddaughter loves the story and the pictures, she requests that we read this book frequently and sometimes multiple times a night.

The simple, colourful illustrations of Moon Pig should be enough to engage even the most restless of chid should be enamoured for a short time period. Perfect for a bedtime story as the narrative is simple, and sends a good message to all children. Perfect for a gift (so long as the family receiving is okay with space travel) and Canadian! Of course Canadian books are always this Canadians first choice when/if possible!

Please note: I received an eARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. This is an honest and unbiased review.
