"Mr. Piggott and his sons are a male chauvinist lot who, outside of yelling for their dinner, don't exercise themselves much around the house. When Mrs. 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. Fun to read aloud."--Bulletin, Center for Children's Books.
One day, after cooking and cleaning for her oblivious husband and two sons, Mrs. Piggott disappears, and the three remaining family members turn into pigs until they change their swinish ways
When Mrs. Piggott unexpectedly leaves one day, her demanding family begins to realize just how much she did for them.
