Cheap Mr. Green places a nanny wanted sign on the front yard of his house for his three children. Nanny Piggins answers that sign. Too bad she's a pig. No, not really. She'll work for cheap and Mr. Green doesn't care as long as he can go to work and not be bothered.
Such begins the romp that this English novelist brings to us.
The humor is quirky and smart-the characters are well-drawn and their words ring true to life.
This is a perfect book for 4th and 5th graders who enjoy humor and can understand word play.
This was also Book List magazines choice for best book of 2010.
