Illus. in full color. 'Mr. Piggott and his sons are a male chauvinist lot who, outside of yelling for their dinner, don't exercise themselves much around the house. When Mrs. Piggott finally tires of the endless chores that sandwich her workday, she leaves the menfolk on their own, with a note saying, 'You are pigs.' With the cooking and housework untended, they soon turn genuinely porcine, a transformation Browne foreshadows with pig faces on the wallpaper, vases, fireplace, phone. As in most of Browne's art, there is more than a touch of irony and visual humor here. Fun to read aloud.'--'Bulletin, Center for Children's Books.
Mr Piggott and his two sons behave like pigs to poor Mrs Piggott until, finally, she walks out. Left to fend for themselves, the male Piggotts undergo some curious changes! This is a hilarious picture book, full of surprises and teasing visual jokes. As with so many of Anthony Browne's books, this story works on several levels with sophisticated pictures combining with a simply told story. Within the story there is a serious message, but it is also a humorous tale that will delight young children and the whole family--and provide some food for thought. --Philippa Reece
How not to be a pig.Are you tired of working for the men of your life?, Would you like to teach them a lesson?, Would you like some deserved recognition?, Do you want to have some fun with your family?. Read toghether Piggybook by Anthony Browne, a beautiful tale about a women who's taken for granted by her family until one day she gets tired and leaves them to live as what they are, real pigs. With a happy ending, teach your children not to stereotype people only by their sex gender.
This book is incredible!This book shows a family of men who are all pigs(at first they are humans and they are messy). The poor mother has to clean up after them and cook all of their meals. Throughout this book Browne's illustrations are humorous. In the middle the men are all drawn as pigs. Look carefully at the pictures, there are many hidden pigs. The mother gets fed up and leaves them and the men have to fend for themselves. Well, you can guess what happens next!
Excellent children's book on viewing women's equality.This is one of my favorite children's books. Mrs. Piggott gets tired of her husband and two sons because they don't help at home even though she is working full time. She leaves them and they eventually end up rooting like pigs looking for something to eat. Watch the pictures to see pigs appearing everywhere
