Books in A First Read-alone Book series

Handpicked by Amazon kids’ books editor, Seira Wilson, for Prime Book Box – a children’s subscription that inspires a love of reading.

When Mary Anne is destined for the scrap heap, the duo must dig their way out of trouble in this timeless tale of friendship, old-fashioned hard work, and ingenuity. Includes bonus audio download performed by the Tony Award winner Matthew Broderick.

Iggy Pig and Mother Pig are off to market - they need more supplies of bread and fruit. They miss out on a lift in the pony and cart, and by the time they arrive in town, Mother Pig is exhausted. Would Iggy be very kind and do the shopping while she has a rest? Of course he will! But hot on the heels of Iggy is a big grey animal with a hungry smile. Licking his lips, the wolf is certain that he's going to get a good dinner tonight. After all, Iggy is quite alone, none of his farmyard friends are anywhere in sight. But clever Iggy Pig knows what he's up to, and all the wolf will be getting to eat is a stall full of of apples and some hot crusty bread!
