Piggies rock! So does Boynton. Through her eyes, her
words, her music, and above all her art, we see the world
with whimsy and pleasure, appreciating round noses and curly
tails, floppy ears and pleasing plumpness. And we’re lucky
to give that gift to our youngest children.
A new
Boynton on Board book, in the amazing series that has
over 11 million copies in print, Perfect Piggies!
also comes with a song available free via a download from
the Workman website. Reminiscent of a cappella swing, it’s a
celebration of the homey—of beauty in the eye of the
beholder, of sunshine and fresh air, and a place to put up
our hooves when the day is done. And, of course, the
catching energy and rhythmic language of a beloved original:
We are all perfect piggies and we know
what we need. It’s really very simple, very
simple indeed: a troughful of food, a place in
the sun, and a little bit of comfort when the
day is done.
