Life is full of happiness and fun things to do, as Gigglet finds out when she goes to summer camp. In A.M. Berkowitz’s Gigglet the Happy Little Piglet Goes to Summer Camp, Gigglet is off to Camp Chick-A-Dee where she can play with her friends, run races, eat yummy snacks, do arts and crafts, row a boat, and sit around a campfire. It makes for a full day or many full days, and Gigglet is as excited about going home as she was going to camp. Why? Because she can relive her fun by sharing her stories with her family. That is until sleep takes over and she snuggles into a deep dreamland, “in her cozy spot nestled in the hay.”
A.M. Berkowitz’s picture book, Gigglet the Happy Little Piglet Goes to Summer Camp, is another gem in the Gigglet series. It’s a simple story about the joys of childhood and all the fun to be had at summer camp. The language is simple, too, making it a great tool to teach young readers how to read. A lot of keywords are repeated, like “jump jump jump and bump bump bump” rhyming, to make a lyrical game out of learning to recognize these words. The illustrations are bright, bold, colorful, and full of life, adding another element to the story progression. This is a great addition to a young reader's summer reading list and will certainly encourage them to find fun in whatever they do during the holidays.
