School Library Journal - 05/01/2025 K-Gr 4—The cover immediatley draws the reader into the drama of The Perfect Pigsty, as Piggle the Pig wears a look of pure panic in his eyes looking at the big mess he has to contend with. Piggle needs to clean up before his parents arrive. He has the best intentions for completion, and uses some good coping methods as he tackles the task. Piggle breaks it down into steps, makes a plan, and gives each job prioritization. But of course, the best laid plans of pigs and men all must go amusingly awry. Each attempt to clean results in even more messes, which may be a little stressful to readers, who will really feel that ticking clock. Kids will find it ridiculously silly, and adults will intimately identify with the feelings of panic. Throughout the book readers only see small portions of the ensuing mess, leading to a final reveal of pure chaos, full of inside jokes for the observant and pop culture–enlightened reader. VERDICT A relatable and hilarious tale of chores gone wrong, with a heartwarming ending. - Copyright 2025 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
