Praise for Pig the Fibber:"Pig, everyone's favorite buggy-eyed pug, is back up to his old tricks...You'll want to add the account of his latest misdeeds to your collection." — School Library JournalPraise for Pig the Winner:"The goggle-eyed cartoon illustrations are fun, funny, and appealingly grotesque in their exaggerated goofiness, and they are a good match for the rhyming text." — Kirkus ReviewsPraise for Pig the Pug:"Blabey's jaunty rhymes will make for some fun read-alouds." — Publishers Weekly

From the Publisher

PreS-Gr 1—Pig, everyone's favorite buggy-eyed pug, is back up to his old tricks. In the latest series addition, the greedy dog delights in destroying all sorts of objects around the house. His owners don't appreciate this though, so whenever he is about to get caught, he points a paw at Trevor. The poor wiener dog who gets punished in the other's place only wants to be friends. Pig pushes his luck too far though. When he tries to steal some treats, karma catches up to him. This leaves readers with a rather satisfying and hilarious lesson about lying. Blabey's snappy lines and exaggerated acrylic-based art fully support the method with which he conveys this message. He doesn't preach, he lets kids reach their own conclusion, and keeps their full attention through humor. The rhyme scheme is clever and measured, and the space and page turns always aid the comedic timing. VERDICT If you've bought Pig before, you'll want to add the account of his latest misdeeds to your collection. Caregivers and educators can easily use him as an example of why it's best to behave.—Rachel Forbes, Oakville Public Library, Ont.
