Benny's mother is cleaning up. First it's Benny's potatoes and sticks. Then it's Benny. She wants to give him a bath! And then it's Little Piggy. She wants to put him in the washing machine. Benny's had enough. He and Little Piggy run off to find a more congenial home. But, even setting aside the mudholes, the world is not as inviting as Benny had thought.
Barbro Lindgren and Olof Landström also collaborated on the award-winning Benny and the Binky. They both live in Sweden.
"Enchanting. Benny's creators allow him free rein to sort things out without imposing judgment--a gift for any child." --Starred, The Horn Book "It's hard to decide which is more endearing and hilarious: Lindgren's text about Benny, an obstinate two-year-old pig, or Landström's illustrations . . . The story is simple and familiar; the quirky details of the text and art combine for a real treat." -- Kirkus Reviews
"Preschoolers are sure to sympathize with [Benny's] plight. Similar in theme but with a simpler text than Gene Zion's Harry the Dirty Dog, this delightful tale is sure to provoke giggles." -- School Library Journal
