Three children and their hilariously subversive nanny pig embark on zany adventures in this award-winning middle grade debut illustrated by Caldecott winnter Dan Santat. The three Green children are cared for by a nanny pig. Yes, a pig—a fabulously sassy and impeccably dressed pig, as a matter of fact! With her insatiable urge to eat chocolate (and feed chocolate to everyone she loves), her high-flying spirit, and her unending sense of fun, Nanny Piggins takes Derrick, Samantha, and Michael on a year of surprises, yummy treats, and adventures they'll never forget. It's no surprise that Booklist proclaimed, "Mary Poppins, move over—or get shoved out of the way." Nanny Piggins is a refreshing and dynamic addition to favorite classic Amelia Bedelia, Mrs. Piggle Wiggle, and, of course, Mary Poppins.

When Mr Green announces his diabolical plan – he has decided to get married – his children (Derrick, Samantha and Michael) are horrified. Especially when they discover his real motive – he wants to get married so he can sack their beloved nanny, Nanny Piggins. Obviously their father has to be stopped, and Nanny Piggins is just the pig to do it. Because you should never ever cross a flying pig. And so, in the process of ruining Mr Green’s matrimonial prospects, Nanny Piggins and the children have many exciting adventures – including being blasted across Dead Man’s Gorge with an armadillo, breaking into a maximum-security prison in search of Chinese food and fighting a Gypsy Queen over a pit of fire.

With a runaway lion loose in the neighbourhood, Derrick, Samantha and Michael feel scared. Nanny Piggins feels like a slice of cake. And Boris feels like that lion looks strangely familiar. In this third action-packed book of adventures, Nanny Piggins tames a lion and a lion tamer. She revolutionises the sport of ski jumping, introduces hot-pink leotards to the local Neighbourhood Watch, demonstrates trapeze skills on a moving bus, plays badminton with a wok and teaches Shakespeare a thing or two about how to write a play. All while thwarting Mr Green’s attempt to send her favourite children to Nicaragua (she does find it wearisome having to put him in his place constantly). And yet, somehow, she still finds time to bake lots and lots of cake.

Derrick, Samantha and Michael should be in school. Instead they find themselves in NASA's space shuttle, which Nanny Piggins manages to accidentally launch, blasting them all into outer space. This time she has gone too far! In this thrilling fourth instalment of her adventures, Nanny Piggins wrestles with a crocodile, bungy jumps of the roof using the elastic from Mr Green's underpants, staples chicken wire over their chimney to keep out Santa, captures an apricot danish-loving jewel thief and rescues her brother, Boris, from an onslaught of professional wrestlers.

In book five of her enthralling adventures, Nanny Piggins discovers some startling truths about the ruthless Ringmaster, provides counselling to a Moldovan princess with pre-wedding jitters, inadvertently wins a Nobel Prize while impersonating her sister and catches up with her favourite 4-tonne friend, Esmeralda the forgetful elephant.

Nanny Piggins gets in trouble with the law after some illicit tight rope walking, and is sentenced to 5000 hours community service. But she isn't the type of pig to take her punishment lying down, not when there are old people to rescue, pirates to impersonate and a great big bus to borrow.

When Mr Green rings from a tropical island, begging to be rescued, Nanny Piggins first instinct is to say ‘no’. However, a principle is at stake. No-one kidnaps her employer – at least not without written permission from her. So Nanny Piggins sets out to save the hapless tax lawyer, and to do so she must first dabble in a spot of bungy jumping, deceive immigration officials wearing a fake moustache and seduce the President with her most powerful weapon – the dance of the seven cakes

A vote for Piggins is a vote for cake! In this riveting eighth instalment of Nanny Piggins' adventures, she sets out to thwart Mr Green's political ambitions by running for mayor herself. Her mission? To proudly fight for Liberty, Equality and Cake! Is democracy safe? Probably not Nanny Piggins has a radically different campaign, which includes a diabolical fun run, being trapped in a sabotaged life, faking seismic activity, safeguarding the local vacent lot and beating the world pole-vault record.

O sr. Green está desesperado para contratar uma babá. Afinal ele tem três filhos pequenos que precisam de cuidado e atenção. Mas ele, um ocupadíssimo e pão-duro advogado de impostos, não tem tempo para essas coisas. Por isso, quando Nanny Piggins aparece em sua casa, apresentando-se para a vaga, ele aceita na hora. Mesmo ela sendo uma porca! Muito bem vestida e falante. Mas, ainda assim, uma porca, do tipo de onde vem o bacon. E o que pode acontecer quando uma porquinha divertida e apaixonada por doces vira babá? Uniformes de escola pintados à mão, um dia inteiro de extravagâncias no parque de diversões, um concurso de arte em que suínos são expressamente proibidos de participar... Um passeio de carro que acaba em tentativa de assalto. Uma babá concorrente presa como ladra de maçanetas. E um tesouro escondido e finalmente revelado! Tudo recheado com muito, muito chocolate.
