When Little Pig cries "Eat!" (his first word), look out. His father and sister lament his messiness, but his mother just scrubs his clothes, chair, and body before bed, where he finally utters his long-awaited second word: "Neat!" The cheerful, loosely rhyming text and quirky images of the pig family are fitting counterpoint to the chaos Little Pig creates.
