  • Mini House: 3 Pigs' Garage

    Peter Lippman

    Board book (Workman Publishing Company, Jan. 9, 1998)
    Peter's Lippman's neighborhood is growing by leaps and bounds. Think Beanie-Babies--or the Beanie-Babies of books. Mini House Books(tm) are sought-after collectibles for children, with the series jumping from 1 million to 2 million copies-in-print in just ten months. Now comes the ninth and latest title--3 Pigs' Garage, a story that follows a busy crew of pig mechanics as they fix up their community's cars and trucks while making sure there's enough time for play after work. Featuring a winsome cast of pigs, bunnies, and dogs, this die-cut garage-shaped book will be a delight for every child who loves vehicles--stretch limos, cherry pickers, school buses and tractor trailors. The story is told in lively rhyming verse: "All the mechanics/are working away,/fixing flat tires/and saving the day." "Any engine can be quite a test./But the bigger the motor/the bigger the mess." Equally charming are Peter Lippman's colorful, whimsical drawings of the animals driving cars, fixing flats, pondering engines, and generally keeping everything in tip-top shape. Fun to hold, fun to leaf through, and fun to read, 3 Pigs' Garage is, like all the Mini House titles, a book to open, enter, and get happily lost in. 9th in the series that now has over 2 million copies in print.

From the first volume, which contains nursery rhymes, fairy tails and fables to the twelfth volume, which covers Shakespeare, Albert Einstein, and Jesse Owens, it has been edited and updated in content from the original.
