Illus. in full color. "Mr. Piggott and his sons are a male chauvinist lot who, outside of yelling for their dinner, don't exercise themselves much around the house. When Mrs. Piggott finally tires of the endless chores that sandwich her workday, she leaves the menfolk on their own, with a note saying, 'You are pigs.' With the cooking and housework untended, they soon turn genuinely porcine, a transformation Browne foreshadows with pig faces on the wallpaper, vases, fireplace, phone. As in most of Browne's art, there is more than a touch of irony and visual humor here. Fun to read aloud."--Bulletin, Center for Children's Books.

From Publishers Weekly
In this moralistic fable, the overworked and underappreciated Mrs. Piggott leaves her swinish husband and two sons to fend for themselves, and they literally turn into pigs. Ages 4-8.

作者简介

* Anthony Browne is rightly regarded as one of the world's leading

picturebook creators. He lives in England with his wife and two children.

* He has won awards in many countries, including the Kate Greenaway Medal

of England for GORILLA and ZOO, and the Kurt Maschler Award of Germany for

GORILLA.

* His inspiration for GORILLA came from a combination of things -- a

greeting card he'd designed of a huge macho gorilla holding a teddy bear, a

very lonely boy he knew whose father lived in New Zealand, his own fascination

with gorillas.

* The behavior of a real family provided the idea for PIGGYBOOK (not his

own, however!) When the book was completed, he presented the family with a

copy, without comment. But they didn't see any relevance to themselves!

I can't tell you how many times I've given this book away.
Every family needs to be reminded that mom is a person to.
I have read this in classes, shared it in e-mails, and sung its praises to strangers.
The cover says it all.

Great book to add to my classroom collection.

illustrations bring home the message and the story is eternal; anthony browne knows families. this is also great for reading out loud to adults and children

Great book for children of all ages. This is not just for girls, boys can (and should)learn from it too.

A great Mother's Day read for elementary aged children. Besides being entertaining, it delivers a great message. A must have for all families and elementary classrooms!
