The Adventures of Nanny Piggins

The Adventures of Nanny Piggins introduces readers to the Green children, Derrick, Samantha, and Michael, whose lives are turned upside down by their new nanny, a pig named Nanny Piggins. Nanny Piggins is not your typical caregiver; she loves chocolate, hates rules, and believes every day should be an adventure. She whisks the children away on zany escapades, from high-flying stunts to delicious culinary experiments, all while challenging conventional notions of childhood and responsibility. Illustrated by Caldecott winner Dan Santat, this chapter book is a delightful blend of humor, fantasy, and heartwarming moments, perfect for children aged 4-11. It celebrates imagination, joy, and the unique bonds of a found family.

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.
