Pigs Spelunking. Good v. Evil. Great Book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Mellops Go Spelunking (Paperback)
Based on my memory of thisbook from 30(?) years ago, it concerns a pig family, the Mellops, who embark on an adventure into a cave. They face not only subterranean wonders, but also a band of robbers hiding their loot. I won't give away the ending because I don't remember it. Hurray for the Mellops reprints! (Normally, I don't care for exclamation points, but it seemed suitable here.
