Another Piggins adventure. similar writing to the first...just didn't hold our attention as well as the first. The novelty had sort of worn off for me. We didn't make it all the way through.

How can you not love a nanny who tells her charge: "But you've got all that permanent marker on your arms where I was writing my shopping list on you." It's Nanny Piggins, of course, whose sense of childcare may be unorthodox but has a loving moral core. Second in the series and just as fun.
