Wishes, Kisses, and Pigs

Grades 5-6

If you would like to read a book with excitement and funny features you've picked the right paragraph to read.  For this kind of person I recommend Wishes, Kisses and Pigs.  Your mind will dive for the funny features in this book.  Once you start reading you might turn into a pig yourself.  Not that I'm saying you are one.  You just might wrap yourself in it.  In this story some family members turned into animals.  Some animals turned to human form. A circle from the mind helps the family connect back to the heart.  Do the missing father and brother rejoin the family in this great book?  The author Betsy Hearne wrote this.  Get your nose into it!

In Wishes, Kisses, and Pigs" the main character, Louise, wishes on a star when her brother (Willie) makes fun of her. She calls him a pig. Louise and her mother can't find Willie after he goes to feed the pigs. The next day a new pig shows up. I like this book because it has a funny plot.

I lIke" Wishes, Kisses, and Pigs " because it is a good book. It is a detailed book. One night a girl wishes a wish and it comes true. I don't  want to give away the story, so you should check it out.

The name of this book is called Wishes, Kisses and Pigs. I liked it because of the beginning and the ending. It starts off where a sister hates her brother and wishes on a star and turns her brother into a pig. I recommend this book for ages 10-100.

I liked Wishes Kisses and Pigs because it was funny. It was about a sister who wished her brother was a pig. And her wish came true. They found the pig, not the brother until she changed her wish and then her brother. It was a good book

Mysteries are my favorite. In this mystery Louise had a brother named Willie. Louise made a wish on Willie. You have to read this book to see what he turned in to and how Louise undid it.
