Customer Reviews

A Rube Goldberg experiment of magnificent proportions

These piggies are so ingenius. My son delights in this book and all of Arthur Geisert's amazing stories and illustrations. The message of this book is terrific, but the drawings and the intricate plan that is laid out and successfully completed is amazing and keeps the wheels turning in our heads for hours. If your child likes to play with rope, pulleys, boxes and all sorts of trinkets, then this book will be perfect. Non-thinkers need not apply.

Another wonderful book by Arthur Geisert

This book is so much fun! My boys love it - they giggle and laugh all the way through it. The drawings are wonderful and there's a great message in the end about teamwork! We can't wait to see what Arthur comes up with next!
