Today we started learning about a story by Anthony Browne, called Piggybook.
As you can see the cover a has puns and metaphors.
Mrs Piggot is piggybacking Mr Piggot, Patrick and Simon, SUPPORTING them.
And this book is about how they turn into pigs when Mrs Piggot leaves.
Here is the work I have done on this book, explaining some of the words.
