Penny, the Engineering Tail of the Fourth Pig by Kimberly Derting

This book was absolutely adorable and I adore all of the puns!

The idea of a fourth pig being an engineer was super cute and I loved the attention given to learning what an engineer does on top of telling the story.

How many childrens books come with glossary’s?!

The attention to detail with this one was wonderful and I would definitely gift it!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Penny, the Engineering Tail of the Fourth Pig was ADORED by both my 3 and 7 year old children. When asked what they liked, my 7yo son said "I like seeing that it was a girl in science!" Which, as a science mama filled my heart right up. He also really enjoyed all of the pig references/terminology used. My 3yo daughter said "it was just a great story mama! that girl piggy is SMART!" This is definitely a book I would purchase and recommend to others.

When Penny's three brothers are having to deal with a big bully, Penny comes to the rescue. A trained engineer, she knows how to take charge and build well. The next time Wolfgang comes around, he's in for a big surprise.

The authors leaned a little too much into the puns, especially since a lot of them came out in the last part of the book.

This picture book is endearing. An empowering illustrated story well written and wonderfully illustrated. Penny saves the day with skill and science. Inspirational. I recommend it to librarians and educators. The little ones will have a great time discovering interesting and fun details in the vibrant illustrations. I like that it includes a glossary at the end.
Thank you Netgalley and authors for the chance to read and review with my honest opinion this ARC.
