There are few to no words in this picture book, but children will love to look at the pictures, make conclusions, and add their own stories to what the pictures are saying.

This one made the granddaughters laugh out loud! Silly pigs and a lot of visuals to talk about with little ones. Was read over and over and over!

[Cheryl · Rating 3 out of 5]

The intended audience will like the silliness of it a lot. Fortunately, they can 'read' it to themselves before the adult gets too terribly tired of it, as most of the story is told in the pictures.

Funny but pointless.

This book is good for kids that can follow along without an obvious story. My two year old has fun finding all of the pigs with me but doesn't understand why yet, unless I make up something to say for the page.

This was on Read Between the Lions today. I swear I read this before as a kid though! I remember looking for all the pigs in these pictures! What fun! Cute little twist at the end, too.

There really isn't a lot to "read" in this book, but it's fun to go through with a little one and look for the pigs that are hiding. Nothing brings pigs out of hiding like junk food, it seems!

My mom had this book and it was always a lot of fun, even for adults. I will have to find a copy sometime.

This was one of my favorite books as a kid; I thought it was so cool that it came out the year I was born!

One pig is the seeker and all the other pigs hide, but the seeking pig (with a bowtie so you can keep track of him) goes from room to room and can't find any pigs! Kids will love this though: the pigs are are hiding, but parts of them are sticking out in plain sight! They'll LOVE finding all the pigs and laughing that the bowtie pig can't find anyone. But his idea for getting them to all come out is genius.

I love the simple story and illustrations.
