A wordless picture book with fart jokes. What's not to like?
May 26, 2019
In this nearly wordless book, a little pig is getting ready for a nice calm bath all by himself. As he settles into the warm water, the door is opened by a sheep who brings a toy boat and climbs into the bath too. The next to enter is a cow, who asks the sheep if she can join and the sheep agrees. Cow brings a beach ball in, which bounces right off of the pig’s head. Then comes donkey who wears a floaty around his waist and hops into the bath too. The bath is noisy and crowded and not what pig wanted at all! What is a pig to do to find some peace?
The only words in this book are animal noises made by each of the critters. They use punctuation and emphasis to show what tone should be used when they are read aloud. It works very nicely. The book has a wonderful build up of frustration for the pig, as he gets more and more cross visually as the animals enter and the chaos increases. The humor of the solution is wonderfully timed and will have small children in stitches. Perhaps adding a little noise for that when sharing aloud would add to the fun.
A little fart of a book with lots of appeal. Appropriate for ages 2-4.

Pig is looking forward to his bath. He climbs in, stretches out and closes his eyes in bliss. However, then comes a knock on the door. In comes Sheep with her toy boat and she climbs into the bath with Pig and happily splashes. Then comes another knock and another, until the bath is full of noisy, splashing animals. Pig is not happy. How can he get rid of them? Read Oink to find out.
This is not David Elliot's first picture book featuring a pig. Both Henry's Map and Henry's Stars are great picture books, but Oink is not another in this series even though Pig closely resembles Henry. Most of the humour in David's previous two pig books was contained in the text but Oink is virtually wordless. Instead, the humour is cleverly contained within the illustrations. While younger children may need some help to figure out what is happening, once they realise how Pig outsmarts his bath-time companions, they will almost certainly find it hilarious.

There's nothing quite as relaxing as a warm bath at the end of the day. Pig has just settled into the tub in anticipation of a blissful soak when he is interrupted by a knock at the door. One by one, various animals decide to share the bath with him, and the tub becomes increasingly crowded and noisy. Pig puts up with these intrusions, but his facial expression shows just how frustrated he is. Young readers will giggle as they realize what he does to get all his unwanted guests to leave so he can bathe in peace. I had to read this wordless picture book a second time to see what I had missed and what sent those animals scampering away in disgust. The illustrations in this nearly wordless picture book tell the whole story. I dare anyone to read this picture book and not come away amused.

David Elliot has created a book for children that tries to explain the issue with global warming. Well, if not global, at least in the tub. Oink appears to be a story about uninvited guests - those that crowd that cute pink pig's relaxing soak. Pig solves his overcrowded bath . . . how would you say . . . creatively?, non-environmentally friendly?, naturally? Great pictures! Few words (animal sounds, really)! Silliness!

A wordless picture book. Miss 4 liked the facial expressions and giggled at the farts.
Miss 4 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library, sometimes around particular topics or themes. We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors.

This nearly wordless book is a hoot! Poor little pig wants some relaxing alone time and everyone else thinks it's time for a water play date. The pictures are simple yet perfectly convey both the animals' delight and their disgust.

This book is the best mostly wordless (only animals noises) that I have read all year. It is so funny when someone toots in the tub. The last page made us laugh! Illustrations are super cute as well!

I just wish the bubbles were a little more clear at the end? It looks a little more like steam... I still giggled, though...

An almost wordless picture book of a pig just trying to take a bath and the many animals that decide to join.

You guys. I laughed so hard at this wordless book. I cannot even.

Why is this even a book? It's seriously too easy to write kids books anymore!

Well .. that's one way to ensure you get the bathroom for yourself!

This almost wordless book is quite funny

I’ve never been a fan of bathroom humor picture books, but this almost wordless book (except for animal sounds) did make me laugh. Pig is very clever about how he gets his bathtub back to himself.

Pig is looking forward to a quiet bath but keeps getting interupted by other animals who want to join in. Elementary and up

No words, aside from animal noises. Kids paid attention to this one up until the very end.

Low-key story about needing alone time and not being able to get it. The fart humor is subtle and effective here, as fart humor rarely has the opportunity to be.

Only using animal noises is a great story time for little ones.
