Review
"'Dear, oh dear, ' thinks Mrs. Pig as she leaves her three tearful, bereft piglets in Daddy's charge and embarks on a clearly well-deserved night out. But the seemingly despondent offspring recover quickly--after all, when Mum's away, Daddy is easy prey. In short order, they gain his permission to have pillow fights, watch far too much on the Piglet Channel...and, in general, wreak havoc on the house, until Mr. Pig hustles them off to bed just as they hear Mrs. Pig's shoes 'crunching up the gravel path.' This book depicts a familiar slice of domestic life...But Asquith's deadpan humor and crisp British prose rhythms inject a freshness and sprightliness to the proceedings...and Young's sprightly watercolor-and-ink pictures bubble with the piglets' unfettered freedom and mischievousness. The premise may be an oldie, but this team turns it into a goodie."
