I can see why he thought it was funny, but it didn't do much for me. All of the mischief was just too EASY (how many times in one book can it really seem like great fun to eat huge quantities of cake and candy instead of meals?) and not especially exciting or imaginative. As a mom, I cringed at some of the ideals Nanny Piggins espoused, but of course this is what makes it so silly for some kids. ( ) Laugh-out-loud funny read-aloud for families and classrooms! Mr. Green is so indifferent about his own children that he hires a pig to be their nanny. Sassy Nanny Piggins feeds the kids chocolate at every meal, keeps them out of school for their various adventures, and is pretty good at scamming Mr. Green. But even with the upfront disclaimer ("kids, don't try this at home!"), young readers and listeners will recognize the true, risky behavior: a father who doesn't spend time with his kids. Great humor, snappy and ridiculous.
Mary Poppins, move over--or get shoved out of the way. Nanny Piggins has arrived. Most recently employed at the circus as the pig shot out of a cannon, she assumes the title 'Nanny' when she spies a Help Wanted sign on the lawn of the Green family. Mrs. Green is dead, and Mr. Green is so tightfisted he refuses to pay a human nanny. So when a pig applies....Stuffing adjectives into this review is as easy as watching Nanny Piggins stuff pies into her mouth. This is smart, sly, funny, and marvelously illustrated with drawings that capture Nanny's sheer pigginess. Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Nanny Piggins (1) PrijzenOnderscheidingenErelijsten
When Mr. Green, a stingy widower with three children he cannot be bothered with, decides to find a nanny for his children, he winds up hiring a glamorous ex-circus pig who knows nothing about children but a lot about chocolate. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
