McPhail's pigs are back, and this time they can do just about anything, from fending off shark attacks to charming boa constrictors to flying. They travel in space, tickle generals out of their warmongering ways, and faithfully stand by their friends. The rhymed text?a catalogue of the animals' activities?doesn't always work, but the large, humorous watercolor illustrations shine. Readers will enjoy the pseudo-Superman and cowboy outfits, the pig-shaped water tank, and many other droll touches. Although this book doesn't have the surprise and sparkle of the title that spawned it, Pigs Aplenty, Pigs Galore (Dutton, 1993), it is worth considering. Laura Robb's collection of poems, Snuffles and Snouts (Dial, 1995), would partner it perfectly for a story hour headlining playful porkers.?Marianne Saccardi, Norwalk Community-Technical College, CT Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.
