This Little Piggy Went to Prada: Nursery Rhymes for the Blahnik Brigade

I'm so excited that I bought this book for my baby girl! I love the stylized nursery rhymes and the illustrations in it are worth every penny. I know this will be a book she will keep forever and hopefully pass on to her little girl. Such a cute and unique gift!

Great illustrations and a fun take on the classic nursery rhymes. Awesome buy and gift!!

This is a good review of the history of an era when people seemed to have different thought patterns. If you like this book, you really should read something like "The Flying Years" by Lou Reichers when pilots did crazy things like fly for 3 or 4 days just to break a record. They re-fueled the aircraft from a different airplane by dangling a hose from one to the other. Of course, someone had to be out on the wing to catch the end of the hose. Or try "The Sky Beyond" by Gordon Taylor. He was part of a crew of 3 on a flight to celebrate the Jubliee Mail, an anniversary which resulted in this flight in a 3-engined aircraft to be flown from Australia to London, England. After crossing a good portion of the Pacific Ocean, the propellor on an outboard engine shattered. And the other outboard engine began to burn oil at an alarming rate. Who would have dared to climb out on the one wing to drain oil from the good outboard engine and then climb out on the other wing to feed it to the one burning the oil? And all this while, the airplane was losing altitude at a constant rate!!

I am married san kids. Yet I am keeping my book. I love nursery rhymes. It is witty, cute and oh, so... pretty. A perfect gift for my fashion-forward friends who are having babies. I'm sure they'll feel spoilt just looking at the illustrations. My girlfriends are pretty international so the British references will not lose them.

This is a tongue-in-cheek, well illustrated, cute little book of rhymes about fashion inspired by children's nursery rhymes and songs. Some are okay to read to children but some maybe not so much. Maybe not because they are inappropriate but because a child just wouldn't understand. Definitely more for the mother than the child. I know I get tired of saying the same rhymes over and over again and I make up my own sometimes. The illustrations are pretty so that would definitely appeal to a child but the actual text probably wouldn't interest them. But the actual rhymes are in the back of the book if you want to read those to the child, which is nice.The book is meant to be tongue-in-cheek and not meant to be taken 100% seriously which I feel is beyond a child's grasp since young children are highly literal minded. This book has a lot of sentiments which are not positive to do with body image and placing value on things which I don't think is good for children. So again, meant for parents who "get" the joke. Reading it to the child a few times won't damage their psyche of course but its important to realize what subtle things can do over a long period of time. In my house the book is on the adult's bookshelf with other literature geared toward adults. Not mixed in with Dr. Suess and Mother Goose.And yes, the author is British so the designers are based in London, pounds instead of dollars,Mummy and not Mommy, nappies and not diapers, and so on. No big deal to me. All countries have their own terms and slang. Whatevs.If you are planning to give this as a baby shower gift, put it in a basket with some sparkling juice (no Chateau St Hilaire for Mama!), some stretch mark cream, candles, and other nice things that are just for the mom. Then put the Boppy and onesies in a different basket. She'll appreciate the thought and might have a few belly laughs (get it? haha) from reading the book while soaking her poor swollen feet later on.

I bought my first copy at Anthropologie and keep it on my coffee table. The artwork is simply beautiful! The title is adorable. When my friends and family come over and gush over the book, I buy a copy from Amazon and send it to them as a gift. I have sent many of my mommy friends the book, to remind them they can still be stylish and chic with children in tow. Great book for gifts!

I give this as an add on gift for every baby shower I attend and they always love it! It’s charming and cute and necessary for any fashionable baby!

I loved the creativity put into every aspect of this book. I bought two; one as a baby gift and the other, for a fashionista friend. Each was opened with great delight and brought much laughter. Very highly recommended for those who love fashion!

Absolutely love this book! So funny! Not just for new moms.

Bought as a baby shower gift/ the mum to be was delighted as this is her sort of thing

This book is great for girls who are into fashion, with designer names, and the best part is the second half has the original nursery rhymes.Fast shipping,great little treasure!

Edges of the book were ripped and scuffed. Book spine was bent. :(

Great little take on nursery rhymes.
