Reviews

“...schools and libraries should plan on picnicking with this pig in a wig.” — Kirkus Reviews

“[Readers] will want to reread this journey over and over again...Another hit in the series, this offering is sure to fly off the shelf.” — School Library Journal

“Virjan’s brightly colored charcoal artwork, populated by cheery, expressive cartoon creatures, is a great complement for the cumulative rhyme, alliteration, and onomatopoeia, and the cyclical nature of the story will help new readers.” — Booklist Online
