Unlike the other books that I have read, there was no use of narration. This book utilized onamonapia by giving the animals in this book a dialogue of the animal noises associated with each animal. The dialogue it gives doesn't necessarily go along with the story. Instead we see the story progress with the illustrations. We see that the pig is happy when he begins to take his bath, his feelings change when the other animals join him. Then at the end he is happy again when they all leave ( )

Pig is looking forward to his bath. He climbs in, stretches out and closes his eyes in bliss. However, then comes a knock on the door. In comes Sheep with her toy boat and she climbs into the bath with Pig and happily splashes. Then comes another knock and another, until the bath is full of noisy, splashing animals. Pig is not happy. How can he get rid of them? Read Oink to find out.
This is not David Elliot's first picture book featuring a pig. Both Henry's Map and Henry's Stars are great picture books, but Oink is not another in this series even though Pig closely resembles Henry. Most of the humour in David's previous two pig books was contained in the text but Oink is virtually wordless. Instead, the humour is cleverly contained within the illustrations. While younger children may need some help to figure out what is happening, once they realise how Pig outsmarts his bath-time companions, they will almost certainly find it hilarious. ( )
