A exquisite 7 1/4" x 8 1/4" volume containing more than three dozen tiny etchings printed in two colors unfolds the story of an orderly mother pig and the whimsical adventures of her adventuresome pink brood. The word "oink" repeated in many ways throughout the little book tempts vocal participation in a visual narrative with no other words. A superbly designed and produced book invites individual discovery of its understated humor. (Ages 2-4)

The playful and expressive characters in this book -- Mama Pig and her eight piglets -- speak only one word, "oink," as the piglets run off in search of adventure while Mama naps.
