The moon pigs in outer space, however, are ready to play with Figwort until he just can’t play anymore and goes home. ‘That was so much fun that I don’t think I’ll ever go to sleep again,’ says Figwort, as he snuggles up with all the other little pigs and falls fast asleep. Dedicated ‘to all sleepless piglets around the world,’ this book is a wonderful bedtime read aloud.
