Piggies in the Kitchen

Imagine what a passel of piggies would do to the kitchen when Mama goes out shopping on her birthday and Daddy is out mowing the lawn! The piggies are cooking up a birthday surprise when they are repeatedly interrupted and then panic thinking Mama is home early. How to clean up the mess? How can they hide the evidence? Luckily, it is the neighbors’ showing up for the birthday party. Magically, everyone cooperates in cleaning up so that Mama comes home to a clean house, homemade goodies and presents. Rhyming text, onomatopoeia and a catchy refrain make this read-aloud perfect for a birthday story or when cooking with a child. 32 pages.
