A curly tale of revenge, rescue and jam-filled doughnuts.
Book Description
With a runaway lion loose in the neighbourhood, Derrick, Samantha and Michael feel scared. Nanny Piggins feels like a slice of cake. And Boris feels like that lion looks strangely familiar.
In this third action-packed book of adventures, Nanny Piggins tames a lion and a lion tamer. She revolutionises the sport of ski jumping, introduces hot-pink leotards to the local Neighbourhood Watch, demonstrates trapeze skills on a moving bus, plays badminton with a wok and teaches Shakespeare a thing or two about how to write a play. All while thwarting Mr Green’s attempt to send her favourite children to Nicaragua (she does find it wearisome having to put him in his place constantly). And yet, somehow, she still finds time to bake lots and lots of cake.
Reviews
Sarah Piggins is irrepressible, effortlessly eclipsing all her famous fictional peers. - The Australian
This splendidly subversive take on the special relationship between paid carers and their charges, loaded with wit. Read it with a child, or to a child, but don't let them carry it off into a corner for their exclusive enjoyment. - The Australian
