A piglet spills his milk, setting off a mildly amusing Rube Goldberg–style chain reaction (a buffer tool catches a clothesline that snags a table saw that cuts through a major support beam) that ends up demolishing his family's hillside home. Amazingly, the pigs survive unscathed. Precise architectural etchings tell the story--though sometimes not very clearly--in this wordless picture book.
