Reviews for The Marvelous, Amazing, Pig-Tastic Gracie LaRoo!
1 rating1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book is billed as a beginning chapter book, but it almost like four stories with the same main character. This is a Gracie LaRoo book, an adorable pig, who is part of a synchronized swim team. In the book she learns lessons in self-confidence, teamwork, being herself and being a good role model. The illustrations are adorable. The storylines are good and teach some good lessons. They are simple enough for younger children with just the right amount of detail. There was also some humour throughout the book. A great book for class and school libraries. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley.

One of the Pig Jubilee banners fluttered over the pool. Gracie tilted her head ever so slightly…
Gracie let out a long, bubbly moan underwater.
She had failed again.
When she couldn’t hold her breath another moment, she kicked her way to the surface, where the other members of the team waited.
Jini, the captain of the Water Sprites, said, You never miss four times in a row! What’s wrong?
Gracie said, I was distracted by a banner.
Su said, A banner? I know this is your first time in a world competition, Gracie, but champions don’t get distracted by banners.
Champions have to concentrate,
said Martha. We need you at your best, Gracie. We know you can do it!
Silvia checked the clock. "That’s all
