One of the earliest truly feminist picture-books, first published in 1986. Mr Piggott and his two sons behave like pigs to poor Mrs Piggott - until, finally, she walks out. Left to fend for themselves, the male Piggotts undergo some curious changes! Thought-provoking and funny, with creepy, hidden details in the illustrations, a tale about fairness and family cooperation. Watch out for the surprise on the last page; what is that smudge on mum's cheek?
