Illustrated by
Nancy Wolff.
"This Little Piggy... / Put her playthings away. / This Little Piggy pouted. / This Little Piggy... / Spoke kindly to others. / This Little Piggy shouted." This little etiquette primer, modeled on the traditional rhyme, suffers only from the overuse of distracting comments and thought bubbles containing the reactions of various animals to the piggies' manners. Wolff's expansive candy-colored gouache illustrations say it all--and better.
