For the woman more accustomed to singing Missoni's praises than singing lullabies comes Amy Allen's irresistible This Little Piggy Went to Prada: Nursery Rhymes for the Blahnik Brigade. Filled from cover to cover with sumptuous full color illustrations by Eun-Kyung Kung, This Little Piggy Went to Prada presents classic nursery rhymes with a thoroughly modern and charmingly ironic spin that will make the most sleepless fashionista mom smile, even when she's knee-deep in diapers.
This Little Piggy Went To Prada First heard about this book when I got one as a gift when pregnant. Very clever adaptations (for the designer conscious) of well known nursery rhymes. Fantastically witty and great buy for a baby shower! I've given one to all my pregnant friends and they LOVED it too!
Fashionista Fantastic What a great book for anyone who is fashion obsessed! The rhymes are very clever and some are a great laugh. It's a very unique present for a baby shower etc, but it really is a great gift for anyone who loves their Choo's, YSL and Vitton. However, for those who aren't so designer conscious many of the references may be missed. Those in the know will find it very entertaining. It's a great idea that the original rhymes are included in the back of the book! The illustrations are gorgeous, very reminiscent of sketches by fashion designers, not very child oriented though. This one is more for the mums than the bubs.
very posh nursery rhymes I loved it....We have a newborn daughter...it's so much more fun reading and singing these ones to her....gives it a new edge...it you have a girly girl...this is the book!!!! Love It!!! Just be careful she does not start asking for all of the things in this book in a couples of years, it will leave you bankrupt.
Very, very disappointed This Little Piggy Went to Prada: Nursery Rhymes for the Blahnik Brigade I was looking for books for my daughter to read to my 15 month old grandaughter, and saw this book. I read the reviews and knew it would be too advanced for my grandaughter but thought her mother would enjoy it. How wrong I was. I thought it would be some tonge-in-cheek version of nursery tales, but there was nothing amusing or funny about a rhyme that ends with the line "Time for Mummy to Detox". The other rhymes were OK but that one line negated any possible enjoyment in the book.
For Fashionista Mommies Absolutly adorable and entertaining for moms and rhythmic for babies. It's definitly European lingo, but still great for us Americans!
