Illustrated by
Lauren Castillo.
While "brandishing her parasol" at a roving pig, Miss Prudence is inadvertently swept off her feet and carried away on the animal's back. Sensory details, colorful exclamations, and lively language patterns add zest to the text. Dynamic illustrations in rich browns, grays, pinks, and reds take readers on an engaging and informative ride through the streets of a turn-of-the-twentieth century city.
