You are about to read a wonderful book. Nanny Piggins is the most amazing pig ever. It has been a privilege to write about her. But before you begin I must (because the publisher has forced me) give you one small warning . . .

Unless you are a pig,
do not copy Nanny Piggins' diet
IN ANY WAY.

You see, pigs and humans have very different bodies. Pigs are a different shape for a start (mainly because they eat so much). Plus, Nanny Piggins is an elite athlete so she has a freakishly fast metabolism that can burn a lot of calories.

So please, for the good of your own health, do not try to eat like Nanny Piggins. There is no doubt that chocolate, cake, biscuits, tarts, chocolate milk, sticky cream buns, lollies, ice-cream, lollipops, sherbet lemons and choc-chip pancakes are all delicious but that does not mean you should eat them seven or eight times a day.

Also, you really must eat vegetables, no matter what Nanny Piggins might say to the contrary, or you will get sick.

Yours sincerely,
R. A. Spratt, the author
