Nanny Piggins

review 1: Mary Poppins is probably rolling over in her grave. Nanny Piggins turns logic on its head: up is down, right is left (or is it wrong?), forwards is backwards, and cake is king.In this second volume of pure absurdity, Nanny Piggins and her three child charges - Derrick, Michael, and Samantha - and Boris the dancing bear (Nanny Piggins' brother, of course) march themselves into one adventure after another. Nanny Piggins breaks into prison (oops!), gets fired from a cannon over Dead Man's Gorge, serves on a jury (watch out, judge!), competes in the Westminster Nanny Show, and acts as headmistress for a day at the children's school. And that's not even the half of it.Don't worry, there are no lessons to be learned in this book. Well, except that whoever you are, you need to be... more eating more cake.reh
review 2: Breakaway funny. Kids grades 5 - 7 will say that Nanny Piggins rocks! Deliriously funny. Like Dave Barry, you never quite know what direction R.A. Spratt is going to take the reader. In this episode, Mr. Green is putting out personal ads to find a wife/ housekeeper. He's not really interested in romance, just someone to shine his shoes. Nanny Piggins puts the fun back into every situation no matter how grim! Some of my favorite chapters: Holisistic Cake Healer, Tunnel to China, Headmistress Piggins and Westminster Nanny Show. less
