Book Synopsis

Children will delight in the antics of ten marvelous little piggies who romp from fingers to toes in this original bedtime fantasy. Don Wood's oil paintings explode with mirth and magic and will engage all young readers."Trying to describe these luxuriant, witty pictures doesn't really work, however; seeing is believing, and what luck for us there's so much to see."--Booklist

Review Quotes

"Rarely have there been pigs as delightfully surreal as these. The Woods take a simple concept--that with a little imagination five fingers can become piggies--and they have a wild, imaginative ball with it."--Booklist (starred review)

"Brilliant colors and large pictures convey the humor . . . while more subtle details of costume and trappings invite viewers to pore over the [piggies'] antics again and again. 'This little piggie . . .' will never be the same."--School Library Journal (starred review)

"These exuberant, plump little pigs are real charmers."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
