I'm disappointed that Mini-Me didn't like this as much as I thought she would.

I used to love this book! I would read it over and over, studying the illustrations, and imagining the whole scene in my mind.
I wonder what happened to it? I guess we read it til it fell apart. I think I'm going to have to buy another copy.
"Jillian, Jillian, Jillian Jiggs! It looks like your room has been lived in by pigs!"

Another favorite as a child, and maybe still now as my room is almost never clean (any other room in the house I can clean but its that darn bedroom that gets me every time!). A funny and creative book filled with childish imagination.

Read as part of the Young Adult Quarterly Challenge #21 (March 1-May 31, 2016) - children's book
5 million, trillion, bazillion stars - legitimately how I rated awesome things as a kid.
This is technically a re-read for me as it was my favourite childhood book - my nana gave me this for my 4th birthday and she wrote a lovely inscription inside.
Before I even picked this up to read again, I could hear the sing song rhyme of "Jillian, Jillian, Jillian Jiggs, it looks like your room has been lived in by pigs..."
Jillian Jiggs is a mischief maker, adventure taker and all around wildly imaginative kid is too busy playing to clean her room - no matter how many times her mum asks. I always loved Jillian as a kid because she was having so much fun and I love her even more as an adult because she is such a free spirit.
In my opinion, this should be a bookshelf staple for all kids - especially those with a wild soul - and it will definitely be one I read to my kids.

Jillian Jiggs (gotta love that alliteration) was a favorite of mine when I was child. Of course, now I like certain things about it that I never noticed before. Such as that Jillian's mom has the best exasperated/ticked off expressions that she wears in every single illustration of her. I also really liked Jillian's very cute younger sister who, I believe, is in every picture. She reminds me a bit of one of my little cousins.

Something I remembered from my own childhood, hope the nephews like it as much as I did.
