Seven round, rosy pigs enjoy an afternoon of tree-climbing, kite-flying, and eating. Then stormy weather highlights the primary difference between a "pignic" and a picnic: lots of
mud. The simple story is also nicely unpredictable and satisfyingly dependent on the illustrations. Loose watercolor washes make the sun, wind, rain, and mud feel tangible, and hoorays abound until the adorable, happily filthy pigs return home at sunset.
