This story is about a pig family. There are Father, Mother, Oliver and Amanda in the family and something always happens around them. There are five stories in the book I read; Amanda's Egg, The Very Long Trip, The Monster, The Fight and Sleeping Time. And my faorite stories are Amanda's Egg and The Fight.
In Amanda's Egg, Amanda really doesn't want to eat her egg for breakfast because the egg looks weird to her. She wants to go out to rake leaves with Father and Oliver. They already had been done with their breakfast. But Mother says Amanda has to finish up her breakfast and then she can go out and play. I like the way Mother make Amanda eat the egg. She said like "I will count 10 with my eyes closed, and then the eggs will be gone." Actually Amanda doesn't eat the egg while Mother closes her eyes. She finally eats it when Mother looks at Father and Oliver raking leaves outside. She eats the egg like a magic, just disappear so Mother doubts of her.
Another my favorite story is "The Fight." This story goes like Amanda and Oliver play with each other, but they start to fight becasue Oliver says something Amanda doesn't want him to do to her. To solve the problem Father let them play separate for a while. So they play by themselves in their own rooms. However, both of them go to Father's place, saying like "I have nothing to do." and then Father says "Okay, play with each other then." Afterwards, they play with each other with so much fun. Father's idea is such a nice idea. If I have kids in the future and they fight each other, I am going to do the same thing. (298)
