Piggie Pie

Gritch the Witch wakes up with one thing on her mind - Piggie Pie!  Unfortunately she lacks one very important ingredient - piggies.  A trip to Old MacDonald's farm should easily take care of that problem, but Gritch doesn't know just who she's dealing with.  


Alerted to her presence by a sky-written "Surrender Piggies", the pigs hurriedly disguise themselves as chickens, cows and old MacDonald himself.  


Confused by the lack of piggies on a farm that was advertised (in the yellow pages) to have piggies, Gritch's patience wears thin.  A wolf happens by and takes a moment to commiserate with her - he himself has been chasing 3 pigges for days without any luck.  


I love the way the author has tied in elements from different children's stories to create this tale.  If you've read my blog at all, you may have noticed that my favorite books are the ones with great humor and fantastic illustrations - this book has both.  It's definitely a favorite in our household!
