Reviews / Votes
Elliot's simple story is beautifully captured. It is a very enjoyable read...that parents and children will enjoy revisiting. Highly recommended * Magpies Magazine * Oink is a great book for pre-readers. The visual language used by Elliot is all that is needed to read the story, while still teaching children about print concepts. * Kids' Book Review *More details
