Super cute, super funny picture book with some really great illustrations of pigs being, well, pigs. Definitely a good read aloud book for younger readers.

I have been very pleasantly with Black's picture books so far. Consistently goofy-funny.

Initially I wasn't taken with the art work, but once we got more into 'pig territory' I started to enjoy that. The story is fun and silly and very enjoyable.

meh. not into it at all. I think I got this from a list of especially funny picture books. I did not find it to be very funny.

Have you ever wondered how a pig parade would actually be? Well, it could be exciting but it could also cause a lot of problems! Shenanigans ensue. This could be a good book to read with a kid on a one-on-one basis if they like to talk stuff out (which a lot of kids do). It would be awkward to try and work with a class or try to do something super serious with though. I feel like this book would be either highly appealing or not appealing at all for young readers.

Very amusing illustration of what a pig parade would look like. The pictures are fantastic.

I originally read the title as A Pig Parade and didn't see the part about it being a terrible idea. I would be good if the pigs could be dressed and acted like majorettes but they don't so it's not good. I love the faces on these pigs. It's like they are saying "whatever". I also love the fact that if they were to listen to music it would be sad country music ballads with titles like "My tears are wet cause my mud's gone dry" and "I just wanna plop into this bucket of slop". I think I might like to hear that music. Wonderful little book. Kids will like this one.

Wow. How awesome is this book? Very. I'm not a big fan of Black's essays (too raunchy for my taste among other problems). But I think he really has a flair for picture books. The premise here is great--explaining why a pig parade is a terrible idea--and I love the artwork. Also, not going to lie, I really want to see a panda parade now.
