The many nuances of "oink"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Y'know, there just aren't too many books out there that can hold their own on nothing but their pictures. This is one of them, the tale of a family of pigs that may be one of the funniest things I've ever seen. The understated illustrations may bore some from reading this, but careful examination of the illustrations reveals a tight and hilarious plot. Very fun!
A bucolic silent film
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I've heard it said that the best movies should be viewable as silent films: even with the sound off, you should be able to follow the plot. In that, this book is one of the best movies. Pigs communicate; piglets are too clever for their own good; mama pig scolds; and all the while, we know exactly what they're thinking, even though the only word they ever say is "oink!"
