The Adventures of Nanny Piggins
What's the Story?
It all starts when Nanny Piggins (the world’s most glamorous flying pig) runs away from the circus and goes to live with the Greens as their nanny. The Green children, Derrick, Samantha and Michael, fall in love with her instantly. Who could not fall in love with a Nanny whose only job qualifications are her astonishing ability to be fired out of a cannon and her amazing ability to make chocolate cake, sometimes both at the same time?
Reviews
"Now add Nanny Piggins to the short list of funny and imaginative, subversive but gentle books about nannies and nurses, babysitters and caregivers." - Pink Me
"Nanny Piggins is a bit unlike any character I’ve come across before. She’s incredible quick witted, though quite ignorant about certain details, like homework and the ocean. She eats much and messily, but I always got the impression she was always well-dressed ... She’s a hoot. " - Outside of a Dog
"Nanny Piggins has an absolute disregard for rules and propriety, an enormous sense of adventure, many interesting talents, non-conventional ideas about nutrition, and to top it all off, her brother is a huge Russian dancing bear." - Kids Reads
Nanny Piggins and the Wicked Plan
Reviews
"It is a book about a very funny flying pig that is a nanny to ... Michael,Samantha and Derek. Nanny Piggins has a really fat brother who is a bear. He loves honey and is Russian. Join the five of them as they adventure the world and miss school (a lot). I think it is really enjoyable and funny." - Hila @ CDPS7
"It's refreshing to see a story written in a zany, fun way with almost ridiculous plots, yet most enjoyable and superbly entertaining." - Read Plus
"Nanny Piggins is a throwback to snappy satire and ricidious situations that truly push boundaires of what is wrong and ‘wrong-er’." - Free as a Word
Nanny Piggins and the Runaway Lion
Reviews
"There is no end to Nanny Piggins’ talents and acquaintances (or sisters). She champions the underdog (or bear) and relishes any opportunity to show her talents... Her antics are outrageous and beyond far-fetched, and just when you think she’s stuck in a corner, she pulls out another new trick and ta-da, she wins to eat another day." - Aussie Reviews
Nanny Piggins and the Accidental Blast-Off
Reviews
"This fourth installment in the Nanny Piggins series is full to the brim with witty humour, classic scenarios with a new twist and page-turning antics." - Kids Book Review
"The fourth novel in the series, Nanny Piggins and the Accidental Blast-Off maintains the manic pace of the previous adventures. Sarah Piggins is rather like a combination of Mary Poppins and Pippi Longstocking in her wilder moments. A pig with Attitude (and great culinary skill), Nanny Piggins will try anything at least once – including bungy jumping off the roof with the elastic from Mr Green's underpants..." - NSWAGTC
Nanny Piggins and the Rival Ringmaster
Reviews
"Spratt continues to push the boundaries of her crazy world and the satire is still razor sharp, poking fun at weddings and celebrities." - Buzzwords Magazine

Here's a short blog interview @ Booktopia with Nanny Piggins author R.A. Spratt. Just like her books, It's very funny.
And now a poem
An Ode to Nanny Piggins
ahem,
R.A. Spratt she wrote a book
Satat made drawings clean
And so together, up they cooked
A nanny most porcine.
