Illustrated by
Carll Cneut.
Spirited verse tells of ten piglets drawn outside by the moonlight to frolic the night away. Cneut's acrylic illustrations are striking; the pale piglets and the glowing moon against a backdrop of deep, brilliant blues and black lend an eerie energy to the midnight romp. The straight-faced piglets, dressed in old-timey PJs, recall Victorian-era picture book animals.
