"A beautifully illustrated tale... told in charming rhyme" Telegraph "Young readers will delight in this tale of mischievous mayhem, not to mention the lavish watercolour illustrations and clever rhymes." Evening Standard "David Roberts is on excellent form." Independent, Best Picture Books for Children "Peter Bently's rhyming text is a treat to read aloud, while David Roberts has a ball with the illustrations ...a real favourite." Andrea Reece, Lovereading "The absurdly stylish David Roberts adds panache to this pig tale with fabulous fashions, decor to die-for and illustrated edibles that genuinely look good enough to eat... An afternoon tea of a picture book; luxurious and ludicrous." Books for Keeps
