Books of Authors -- Author # 3 William Steig

Zeke Pippin
By William Steig

This book is about a young pig that becomes disappointed when his family falls asleep as he plays his newfound harmonica. Then he runs away'only to undergo harrowing adventures before he, with the aid of his magical sleep-inducing harmonica, can be reunited with his loving family.

By reading the Authors synopsis and looking at the cover, I think that the book is about a young pig who also gets lost but also has fun while on his adventures. But then gets lonely and then wants to go back home with his family.

This book can be used with 4-6 year olds which are K-1st grade levels and maybe 2nd grade. As and educator I would probably use the book with Pre-K as well to teach them about animals and colors.
