About The Book

From Laura Gehl, author of Cat Has a Plan and Goat Wants to Eat, comes a laugh-out-loud Ready-to-Go! Ready-to-Read about an artistic pig and a cat who is not impressed!

Pig makes art. Cat does not like the art. Will Cat have a change of heart?

Perfect for kids at the beginning of their reading journeys, Pig Makes Art was written for children who have learned the alphabet and are ready to start reading! And what better way to get kids excited than with a fun story featuring words they can actually read and starring some very funny animals?

Each Ready-to-Go! Ready-to-Read includes a note to parents explaining what their child can expect, a guide at the beginning for readers to become familiar with the words they will encounter in the story, and reading comprehension questions at the end. Each Ready-to-Go! story contains around 100 words and features sight words, rhyming words, and repetition to help children reinforce their new reading skills. In this book, readers will learn seven sight words, and eleven words from four word families. So come on and get reading!
