Illustrated by
Amy Walrod.
Set to the rhythm of "This little piggy," this tale presents two unfriendly bands of pirate pigs and one mysterious locked box. Though the format grows tiresome and the pigs never develop individual personalities, intricate cut-paper illustrations add to the pigs' playfulness as they quarrel over the box and then work together to open it and enjoy the contents.
