Our Review
Pig the Stinker by Aaron Blabey is a delightful addition to the beloved Pig series. Blabey’s signature wit and charming illustrations once again come together to create a magical and unforgettable tail.
This book was definately one which had us in fits of laughter! Pig’s antics had us amused as he did everything the little horrible pug could to avoid bathtime!
From running away to blocking up pipes – this seriously dirty pup is determined to live in his own muck! However, Pig’s plans can’t work forever. He explodes the bathroom and soon learns his lesson!
Whilst the illustrations in this series are always delightful, in this instalment it feels like extra care has gone into producing illustrations that show exactly how filthy Pig is! From rolling in muck, to leaving dirty footprints, to having fishbones around his neck – Pig’s iconic stinklines sure are memorable!
Whilst maybe not carrying some super important, introspective life lessons – we promise the fits of giggles are worth it!
