Sir Pigglesworth's Adventures in Pigonia: The Story of Sir Pigglesworth as a Young Piglet, with Pirate Battles! (Toddler-Level Violence) [Illustrated Chapter Book for Children Ages 6-10]

by Joann Wagner, Jim Debellis, David Darchicourt (Illustrator)

Overview

The Royal Dragonfly Awards 1st Place Winner in the Children's Chapter Book category takes readers to the island nation of Pigonia, where we learn how young Spencer Hoggbottom, Esquire became the famous Sir Pigglesworth!

In the Atlantic Ocean, a colony of royal pigs lived peacefully for over 200 years. Suddenly, little piglets were getting pig-napped, and the scurvy pirates led by the infamous Captain Phineas Nastybeard were seen coming ashore from pirate ships. The pigs of Pigonia had no way to protect themselves until Admiral Cornelius Snout and Reginald Hoggbottom of New York led a heroic rescue mission!

A year later, Spencer, AKA Sir Pigglesworth, was born in Pigonia, and the little pig lived a happy life of playing with friends and playing pranks for over 5 years... until Spencer and his friends spot the Jolly Roger pirate flag coming over the horizon and Nastybeard, Peg Leg McGee and the rest of the pirate horde arrive in the cove, looking for more piglets to kidnap. Armed with only the usual pig "weapons", like mud-balls, tomatoes, potatoes, and rubber bullets, can Admiral Snout, Spencer, and the royal pigs save the piglets and defeat the nasty pirates...?!

The Sir Pigglesworth Adventure Series has quickly become a favorite of teachers, parents, and grandparents for teaching kids about geography and cultures, and kids can't get enough of the funny pig and his crazy adventures. Next stop... beautiful sandy beaches and luxury, in Sir Pigglesworth's Adventures in Bermuda!

Editorial Reviews

Pigonia was officially established in 1802. 200 years later, the citizens need help from Duchess Penelope of Pigglesworth against Captain Phineas Nastybeard. Penelope is sent to aid the island, along with Admiral Snout and Duke Reginald. The Duke and Duchess fall in love, get married, and have a son named Spencer. Five years later, Nastybeard comes back and Spencer is determined to help save his friends and protect the island.

- Spencer has an iPig, which made me laugh.

- The Duke and Duchess are wonderful and truly show what it means to be a leader.

The art is very good and captures different scenes well. It is very helpful for young readers that nearly every other page has an illustration. Also, when there is a scene change, there is a new page. What really jumped out to me was that the bullets are RUBBER. That means that even though there's violence, there's no killing. I found that it was okay that I hadn't read the first three books, because it's a good story that didn't leave me confused. I'm also excited to share it with my nieces and nephew.

Mr. Pigglesworth is the cutest pig since Charlotte's Web. I love the stories and am making my way through the series.

I am going to order the whole set that comes in it's own little treasure box and give them as gifts. Kids love them.

This little piggy is always getting into predicaments and is so lucky that he keeps running into Bill and JoAnn just in the nick o' time.

He will not disappoint and your children will fall in love with him as I have. I met the author who is just as entertaining as her books.

What a clever, fun book !! Ms. Wagner really outdid herself on her forth entry of her Sir Pigglesworth series. She made up a whole new place and characters. Your kids will love the indomitable spirit of this adorable little pig. This is a prequel telling us how Sir Piggleworth came to be knighted, why he wears goggles, and what his name was before he was knighted! This is a real adventure story indeed with pirates coming to Pigonia to kidnap all the pigs, but our hero saves the day. The box set is so cute, it makes a great gift!

My goodness, I love Sir Pigglesworth! My granddaughter and I read this together and got tickled because he has a wee bit of ADHD, just like we do. We love seeing the adventures and can't wait to keep reading all the series. We are on number 4 and want to keep exploring right along with Sir Piggy! This is fun, enjoyable read. Yes we do learn something about geography, but most of all we just had a good time reading it. My granddaughter is 7 and could read this easily by herself. She read it to me, with enthusiasm.

I love everything about this book! I love Sir Pigglesworth's excitement about his journey. I love how the book was written. The print is large enough that I don't "have" to wear my reading glasses if I don't want to. And I love the colorful illustrations... I think it's a wonderful book for children of all ages to enjoy: )

My name is Trace and my brother, Chase got these books from the author, Miss Joanne. She is a nice lady and we got our books at a state fair. We got to read them while we waited for our Grandpa and Grandma to sell stuff. I read them to my brother cause he is only 5 and can't read all the words yet. They are fun to read and we got a little pig to play with and new socks too. We went on You-tube too. My Grandma is typing cause its too hard to type this much. Hi miss Joanne! Chase and I each took one of the books to school to read for reading time. My friend Laelani likes it too.

My class absolutely loved the pirates and all. They laughed at all the swine references and jokes. My daughter most loved the introduction of Princess Serena.
