Mr. Green has no desire to take care of his children or to pay very much for a nanny. When a former circus pig asks for the job, he grudgingly employs her. Nanny Piggins then takes the kids on a string of adventures. Funny, odd, and rambunctious, this story will entertain many readers. Detailed black-and-white illustrations humorously convey the characters' spirit.
