Words like pig, pup, pen, and pan repeat in short sentences, which helps a new reader sound out the story with confidence. Pig and Pup look funny, eat funny, and nap funny, and children love the pair. It is short enough to read twice before bed.

Pig likes to play in his pen, and Pup is a pug with plans of his own. Dad puts Pig in a mud pit, Sis dresses Pug up, and the two pets look very funny indeed. Then it is time to eat and nap, each in a funny spot.
Children practice the letter p and the p sound in one-syllable CVC words, plus pre-kindergarten and kindergarten sight words. The sentences stay short, the words repeat, and the animals make it a joy to read.
