Mr. and Mrs. Pig's Evening Out
by Mary Rayner"Now piglets," Mrs Pig said, "your father and I are going out this evening." There was a chorus of groans. "Not far," said Mrs Pig, "and I've asked a very nice lady to come and look after you." "What's her name ?" asked William Pig. "I don't like babysitters," said Benjamin. "Oh," said Mrs Pig, looking vague, "well, she's coming from the agency, so I'm not sure what her name is, but you're sure to like her." "We didn't like the last one from the agency," grumbled Garth. From this familiar scene stems an hilarious tale, for the babysitter was not what she seemed to be, and it took the quick wits and resourcefulness of the ten brave piglets to avert the unforeseen and dreadful consequences of their parents' night out. Of all the stories that Mary Rayner has told to her own children and their friends, this one has always been top favourite. Other books about the Pig family are available from Bookshare.

Mrs. Pig's Bulk Buy
by Mary RaynerFrom the book: Once when the ten piglets were very small, their mother, Mrs. Pig, had a problem. Her piglets were all fond of ketchup, too fond. They ate it on everything. No matter how hard Mrs. Pig tried to cook things they would like, they never tasted it; everything was covered with ketchup -- even dessert -- before they ate it. Not until one day at the supermarket, when there was a big sale on ketchup, did Mrs. Pig think of a way to solve her problem. She bought six enormous jars. And brought them home. Though there may be no fierce wolf after the piglets this time, their situation is almost as grave, and the final results are just as funny and even more lasting than the ones in Mr. and Mrs. Pig's Evening Out and Garth Pig and the Ice Cream Lady. Other books about the Pig family are available from Bookshare.
