The cunning baby-sitter from Mr and Mrs Pig's Evening Out makes another appearance, this time in the guise of Madame Lupino, an ice cream lady wearing sunglasses, straw hat and driving a pink and brown Volfswagon. She entices Garth Pig into the van and there follows a hilarious chase through hilly country with the nine remaining piglets frantically pedalling their nine-seater bicycle - which eventually proves to be Madame Lupino's undoing. 'Again' is the cry every time I read this story to a group of infants, and I know a good many who will be thrilled at being able to own paperback copies of one of their favourites.
