Review

Pig, a pug,does not share his toys with Trevor, a "wiener dog"with whom he lives. When he falls from his hoarded pile of possessions and ends up in a body cast, Pig is at the mercy of Trevor who has access to all Pig's toys. Like a fluffer-nutter sandwich, Pig the Pug will be easy for children to pick up and enjoy. The large, colorful, acrylic illustrations show exaggerated emotions. Dogs and toys take center stage with almost no details of room setting. All young readers/listeners eyes will be on the dogs' exaggerated and humorous CBRsmld316eyes and teeth. How long lasting the giggles will be is another question. This title is recommended for collections that can balance an easy treat with more meaty, literary fare.

Overall Book Score: fair
