Book #1 in the Nanny Piggins series
A pig becomes the unlikely nanny to three children and turns their lives into an exciting adventure filled with humor and heart.
Meet Derrick, Samantha, and Michael, whose lives turn upside down with Nanny Piggins, a chocolate-loving, fashion-forward pig. With her zest for life, she whisks them into a whirlwind of unforgettable escapades. What surprises await as they dive into a year of hilarity and mischief? Discover how a pig can outshine even the most magical nannies in this delightful tale of fun and friendship.
Three children and their hilariously subversive nanny pig embark on zany adventures in this award-winning middle grade debut illustrated by Caldecott winnter Dan Santat. The three Green children are cared for by a nanny pig. Yes, a pig–a fabulously sassy and impeccably dressed pig, as a matter of fact! With her insatiable urge to eat chocolate (and feed chocolate to everyone she loves), her high-flying spirit, and her unending sense of fun, Nanny Piggins takes Derrick, Samantha, and Michael on a year of surprises, yummy treats, and adventures they’ll never forget. It’s no surprise that Booklist proclaimed, “Mary Poppins, move over–or get shoved out of the way.” Nanny Piggins is a refreshing and dynamic addition to favorite classic nannies: Amelia Bedelia, Mrs. Piggle Wiggle, and, of course, Mary Poppins.
