Gigglet is a happy piglet. She loves to go on adventures. In A.M. Berkowitz’s Gigglet The Happy Little Piglet Goes to the Beach, the little piglet is having an adventure at the beach. While at the beach, Gigglet loves to play, swim, bury herself in the sand, build a sandcastle, enjoy a sweet ice treat, fly her kite, and so much more. With each adventure, she loves to giggle, gaggle, paddle, dazzle, wiggle, waggle, and gobble, guzzle her sweet treat. The beach and Gigglet are made for each other; they’re meant to have fun in the sun.

A.M. Berkowitz’s picture book, Gigglet The Happy Little Piglet Goes to the Beach, is the second book in the Gigglet series. Told in rhyming verse, the plot follows Gigglet to the beach and shares her many adventures. The language is simple to help young readers follow along. By using lots of repeated words as well as rhyming words, like snuggle and cuddle (each repeated three times), young readers will have fun recognizing and learning these words, adding to their reading vocabulary. Gigglet is a giggly piglet that will have young readers giggling along. The illustrations are bright, bold, and colorful and as much fun as the words that accompany each image. There are a lot of beach-related images that add to the entertainment value of the story. The use of different fonts and scattering of the words add to the visual impact of the overall presentation. This is a fun book for young readers.

Splash and learn with Gigglet in Gigglet the Happy Little Piglet Goes to the Beach by A. M. Berkowitz. In this rhyming story, another installment in Berkowitz’s colorful series about a carefree little pig, Gigglet spends the day having fun at the beach. Children will learn new vocabulary words as Gigglet surfs, swims, plays in the sand, builds sandcastles, snacks, and flies a kite during her eventful day before settling into her hay to sleep. With language accessible to early readers, vivid illustrations, and one adorable piglet in a swim ring, Gigglet the Happy Little Piglet Goes to the Beach is sure to be fun for all!

A. M. Berkowitz has created another enjoyable tale with Gigglet the Happy Little Piglet Goes to the Beach! Gigglet immediately won me over with her adorable expressions and cute activities, like snacking on sparkly shaved ice. Parents looking for a picture book to help their beginner readers learn how to tackle a story alone will love Gigglet. New concepts, like snorkeling, are accompanied by clear and detailed illustrations. Because the whole story is told in simple sentences, young readers can easily learn with the help of familiar words among new words. In addition to the learning opportunities, Gigglet is plain and simple fun! Who could pass up a story about a happy little piglet in a polka-dotted bathing suit giggling and playing on the beach? I highly recommend this picture book for families and daycares looking for a fun beginning or an addition to their libraries.

Gigglet The Happy Little Piglet Goes to the Beach is written by A.M. Berkowitz and illustrated by Nifty Illustration. Gigglet loves to have fun, especially when she gets to play at the beach. The best part about a beach day is that there are so many fun things for Gigglet to do. The happy little piglet loves to play in the sand. She can dig herself into it or build amazing castles that sparkle in the sun. She can laugh and play, swim in the water, or even surf along the surface. No matter what she decides to do, Gigglet is a happy little piglet with a smile as bright as the sun when she’s having some fun at the beach. What else can Gigglet do at the beach? How long will she stay and play? Is this a one-time vacation day, or will Gigglet want to go back and do it all again?

Gigglet The Happy Little Piglet Goes To The Beach is an adorable children’s story full of the fun and excitement that Gigglet has when she gets to enjoy a day at the beach. The little piglet has a love for playing that any child can easily relate to as they giggle along with the fun-loving character. Nifty Illustration adds a huge layer of entertainment with the bright and colorful pictures that show off Gigglet’s day at the beach. I recommend Gigglet The Happy Little Piglet Goes To The Beach to any child who enjoys a captivating story. This lovely picture book will keep them laughing as they read it over and over again.

The author of this has cleverly used rhythms and repetition of sounds to expand on very young readers' language skills. Repeating the same word in threes, and changing them up slightly but using the same ending sounds like pack and stack, or skim and swim. There are also a lot of fun words to say or emphasize, like gobble, guzzle, wiggle, waggle, giggle, and gaggle.
The other thing that is really enjoyable is the storyline itself, which is all about Gigglet, the happy little piglet (see how the author that too?) going to the beach for the day. She loves to bury herself and play in the sand, eat shaved ice (who doesn't), go swimming in the sea, and even surf.
My favorite part of this book (well, besides- all of it) is the eye-catching illustrations. The colors chosen are vibrant and bright. They pop off the page and kids are immediately attracted to them. The day ends with Gigglet back home on the farm, happy and tired and dreaming of her next day at the beach. This is a book you will read over and over to your young kids or grandkids.

Gigglet The Happy Little Piglet goes to the Beach is playful and inviting. The story is designed to engage the imagination of young readers. As in the other Gigglet books, the use of rhyming triplets throughout makes for an entertaining bedtime story. This little board book brings color and rhyme into your toddler's library!

We love these Gigglet the Happy Piglet books. They always put a smile on my face, and they’re very entertaining for the little ones. In this adventure, Gigglet goes to the beach where she plays in the sand, goes surfing, eats a frozen treat, and flies a kite. The book is positive and fun with a simple story that little ones can follow and a cute rhyme scheme. And the illustrations are just adorable. This is a really fun book for toddlers and preschoolers. Adults will like it too :).

Bought this book for my 4yr. grandson who loves pigs. It is a perfect little rhyming story with beautiful illustrations. Our favorite page is where Gigglet is enjoying a shaved ice, it really looked delicious!

I read before Giglet goes to School and I like them both. This one is very similar to the other one, which is great for kids because they use to like this type of similarities in the stories. I recomend to buy them both.

Gigglet the Happy Little Piglet is a very entertaining story for very young children. It incorporates three things little ones love ~ rhythm, rhymes, and repetition. Plus, Gigglet is so cheerful, who wouldn't want to spend a day at the beach with her? The bright illustrations are fun as well.
