Pig and Pug - by Lynne Berry (Hardcover)

About the Book

Two pocket-size pets meet and get into a tussle when Pug insists that Pig is a pudgy pug, and again when Pig calls Pug a muddy pig.

Book Synopsis

Pig and Pug are very different (but not really). See how their similarities show up in this mischievous picture book that's perfect for pet lovers.

Pig and Pug are petite and portable pets--one in a pocket, one in a purse. They are also two spunky spirits: Pug, rather pugnacious; Pig, a bit pigheaded. When these two meet, bickering, chasing, and even some mud wrestling ensue. But after some creative compromises, Pig and Pug manage to settle their differences and become friends...at least for the time being.

Review Quotes

"A fun addition to most picture book collections."-- "School Library Journal"

"An excellent choice for new readers...Bravo, Pig and Pug!"-- "Kirkus Reviews *STARRED REVIEW"

"Aside from the lip-smacking delight of reading this title aloud, the book's tightly controlled vocabulary and frequent repetition will suit emerging readers to a t--or a p."-- "Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books"

"Expressive illustrations [make] for an eye-catching layout. The alliterative language and wordplay with pug and pig lend themselves to reading aloud and will appeal to children who like their humor on the slapsticky side."-- "Booklist"
