Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Rarely have there been pigs as delightfully surreal as these. The Woods take a simple concept--that with a little imagination five fingers can become piggies--and they have a wild, imaginative ball with it."--Booklist (starred review)
"Brilliant colors and large pictures convey the humor . . . while more subtle details of costume and trappings invite viewers to pore over the [piggies'] antics again and again. 'This little piggie . . .' will never be the same."--School Library Journal (starred review) "These exuberant, plump little pigs are real charmers."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)--
