It's starts with a baby piggy. She's in a puddle. She likes it. Her mommy piggy, daddy piggy, and brother piggy each come by and tell her that she shouldn't be in the middle of a puddle, and that what she needs is lots of soap. But each time, the little piggy answers, "Nope!"
Eventually, all of the piggy family ends up in the puddle together. I think the little piggy family is part of what I like about this book. Plus the rhyming, rhythmic text that's crazy-fun to read, and James Marshall's illustrations, which are always funny. AND it's a Reading Rainbow book. (I had a little bit of a thing for Reading Rainbow when I was little.)
Anyway, I highly recommend this book. It's sweet and funny, for kids and adults both.
