"Just One More Story"

'Just one more story' is a plea familiar to most human parents and seemingly little pigs are no different in their demands for bedtime tales. This is one of a growing number of books which quite literally contain a text within a text. This time it is in the form of four little booklets, each a porcine version of a well-known tale: 'The Ugly Pigling', 'Pigerella', 'The Pig Prince', 'The Prince and the Porker'. This would be best for children who already know the original stories and could appreciate the visual and verbal jokes contained in the main text and in the booklets. The 'handwritten' style typeface of the framing story contrasts with the traditional roman of the inset stories, and Moseng's illustrations are reminiscent of Colin McNaughton's work.
