The story behind the story of the five little piggies is presented by Donald's grandmother, who improvises on the familiar nursery rhyme and draws funny, toe-tickling conclusions.

From Kirkus Reviews:
The well-worn, much-loved finger-and-toe game is elucidated and embellished to a fare-thee-well in this little picture book. It's not clear why readers need to know that the second little piggy was just waiting for his brother to leave so he could skip going to market and laze in a bubble bath; or that the third little piggy ate all the roast beef slated for dinner, much to the chagrin of the fourth little piggy. Children may be beguiled, however, by the adorable illustrations in bright candy colors, by the portrait of a perky, bespectacled grandmother who tells the tale to her grandson, and by the vivid hues of the piggies' world. While the game may be more enjoyable to play than to read about, this book may inspire children to tinker with and expand upon such rhymes on their own.

From School Library Journal:
PreSchool-Grade 1. Children familiar with the beloved "piggy" rhyme must wonder "Why?" from time to time. Why did one little piggy stay home? Why did one get none? Well, here for those nursery wonderers are the answers, as a talented, imaginative grandmother reveals all in a bedtime story, from the first little piggy who goes off to market alone when his brother won't get out of bed, to the last little piggy who sings "Whee, whee, whee" as he returns from a visit with his grandparents. Lamut's charming illustrations accompany Heller's comical angle on a favorite nursery rhyme, and the whole attractive parcel will certainly lead to a surreptitious round of "piggies" after every cheerful reading.?Patricia Manning, formerly at Eastchester Public Library, NY
