Piggity-Wiggity has been feeling a bit poorly, so Mum has a special treat in store for him … a trip to Dad’s café for lunch! But Piggity-Wiggity doesn’t recognise all those fancy foods on the menu … whatever will he eat?

	Diana Neild can still remember the poem she wrote at seven years of age. It rhymed and had a bit of rhythm and from then on she was hooked. Over the years she has always written little rhyming things and poems for people’s parties and weddings, but when she began writing Piggity-Wiggity she did it in her head, two lines at a time.
	Philip Webb has been a freelance illustrator of children’s books for over twenty years, mostly in the area of educational readers, chapter books and New Zealand short story compilations.

Piggity-Wiggity Jiggity Jig Goes to Dad's Cafe is the second in the series. The first book, Piggity-Wiggity Jiggity Jig received an Honour Award at the New Zealand Post Children’s Book Awards in 2009.
