Reissue (1957, Harper)
(2) K-3 Three of Ungerer's books about the amusingly indefatigable pig family have been reissued. Treasure takes Mr. Mellop and the boys, Felix, Isidor, Casimir, and Ferdinand, to the high seas. In Oil they decide to build an oil rig (Mom's almost a casualty). Christmas Eve finds the piglets spreading holiday cheer. In storytelling and pictures, Ungerer's books have great originality and appeal. Review covers these titles: Christmas Eve at the Mellops', The Mellops Go Diving for Treasure, and The Mellops Strike Oil.
