From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-Grade 1-A town's residents busily prepare delicacies, anticipating the exciting arrival of the pigs that are "coming to play, hooray!" In fact, a veritable banquet awaits: "We're planning a feast for ten thousand at least,/We're cooking a fabulous meal." The porcine party is followed by high-stepping dancing and, when the frolicking comes to an end, the insatiable guests request one last snack. Though the warm, welcoming hosts are weary and worn-out, and have joined in the fun, they serve up crumb, plum, and rum cakes, and anticipate the arrival of-the sheep. Oller's distinguished watercolors of boisterous, smiling pigs are a perfect match for Newman's winsome, lyrical verse. This rollicking romp will be a storytime delight or a terrific laptime treat. It's sure to bounce right off the shelves.
