The Adventures of Nanny Piggins by R.A. Spratt
4.0
YEARS after fanflailing from my friend Miriam -- years in which I recommended Nanny Piggins far and wide despite having never read it -- I finally read this story of Mary Poppins-style-nanny-finding gone horribly, horribly wrong.
I'm a little concerned about the enthusiasm with which I have pressed it on families. It *is* hilarious. And unexpected. And it makes sense that a pig in charge of children would lead to shenanigans that responsible adults would never consider. And goodness knows, the Cat in the Hat and Pippi Longstocking get away with it.
I'll keep telling myself that if a parent ever comes in to complain that it was, in fact, shocking.
