From Booklist
Ages 4^-8. Kids think pigs are funny, something McPhail has been capitalizing on since his wonderful character Pig Pig was born. Pig Pig's mischievous spirit is many times multiplied in this zesty follow-up to Pigs Aplenty, Pigs Galore (1993) that's set on a sparkling cruise ship. The exuberant rhyming text is delivered with such gusto and goofiness that children will be hard-pressed not to enjoy themselves as they follow an unsuspecting vacationer heading out on a cruise ship: "I look for cabin number nine. / To my surprise, it's filled with swine. / Some are sitting on a trunk; / The rest are piled up on a bunk" (there's even one sitting on a toilet reading a book). Dark backgrounds make the rainbow of colors McPhail uses in his illustrations sparkle as the artwork gleefully depicts the raucous goings-on--from events in the crowded cabin to the dreadful table manners that are the porkers' eventual undoing. But even the obstreperous pigs' consignment to a drifting lifeboat isn't the end: there's a marvelous surprise yet to come in this joyous, very funny story, with a shining cast of mischief makers destined for a special place in children's hearts.
