摘要

Anne Miranda's inventive twist on a classic rhyme tells what happens after a shopper goes "to market, to market, to buy a fat pig." Back home the pig promptly escapes, and soon the pig's in the kitchen, the lamb's on the bed, the cow's on the couch--and the rest of the animals are wreaking havoc throughout the house.
本书中配图的最大特点就是实景与手绘相结合，实景作为背景以灰色呈现，而彩色的手绘图则生动地表现了故事情节，局部的灰白与彩色的处理使得整个画面更具层次感。另外，故事采用了大量的重复词和重叠句，每次去超市都以“TO MARKET ，TO MARKET”开头，让孩子不自觉地跟起了节拍，猜测下一个出现的动物是什么，引起孩子的阅读兴趣。
