Piggies

by Brian Rock

An updated version of a favorite children's nursery rhyme, with all the Piggies in the family! It seems like another normal day for the Piggies, until Mrs. Piggy falls ill. Mr. Piggy does his best to watch after Baby; but on this day when pigs can fly, anything that can go wrong, does! The newest title from Brian Rock plays on the familiar children's nursery rhyme that will be easily recognizable to parents. The tale takes into consideration many of the modern "family conveniences" of today's life. This book, with appealing illustrations, answers the age-old Why does one piggy have to stay home if another one gets to go to market? Why does one piggy not get any roast beef? What would make a piggy go wee, wee, wee all the way home?
