| | Piggybook by Anthony Browne : Booksamillion.com (067980837X, Paperback) |
 | | Piggott and his sons are a male chauvinist lot who, outside of yelling for their dinner, don't exercise themselves much around the house. |
 | | Piggott finally tires of the endless chores that sandwich her workday, she leaves the menfolk on their own, with a note saying, 'You are pigs.' With the cooking and housework untended, they soon turn genuinely porcine, a transformation Browne foreshadows with pig faces on the wallpaper, vases, fireplace, phone. |
 | | As in most of Browne's art, there is more than a touch of irony and visual humor here. |
