Piggy wants to give Giraffe a kiss, but Giraffe is too tall. What will Piggy do? An endearing and simple story about friendship. For toddlers ages 30 months and up, with a focus on the child’s emotions. At Clavis, our focus is on what’s best for children. We believe that books play an important role in each new phase in life. Our toddler books are tailored for every stage from 0 to 3 and focus on the five most important themes in their life: daily life, skills, emotions, the world, and language development. The age range and theme of every book in our toddler series can be found on the back cover in the form of a colored train.

"PreS–Faced with the challenge of a height difference, Piggy tries to figure out how to give Giraffe a kiss on the face. Piggy tries a variety of techniques to close the height gap, including digging a hole for Giraffe to sit in, and ways to elevate himself to Giraffe’s height. The solution comes naturally when Piggy climbs up a ladder and falls. Giraffe leans his head down to check on his friend, and, voilà, Piggy is able to give him a kiss. Simple text and illustrations work well together to make it a good choice for storytime. This title also lends itself to a discussion about problem-solving and communicating with friends. VERDICT This title is recommended for school and public libraries to talk about critical thinking skills and friendship." - School Library Journal
