Praise for this book

Praise 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
