Pig the Pug is at it again. We know he has a hard time sharing, but now we learn that he HAS to win or “it just ain’t fun”. One day, he and his long-suffering friend, Trevor (the dachshund) were eating dinner and Pig challenged him to an eating race. It’s a good thing that Trevor had apparently taken first aid, because he had to use the Heimlich Maneuver on his gluttonous pal, Pig. Instead of a thank you, Pig said exactly what we expected…”I win!” There’s a bit of Karma at the end of the story, because the bowl that Trevor dislodged from Pig’s throat ended up ricocheting off the wall and hitting Pig on the head. Does that stop his cheating? What do you think?
Illustrations are wonderfully goofy and kids will love the expressions on the faces of Pig and Trevor. White backgrounds make the dogs “pop” on the pages and move the story along.
This is a great companion book to Pig the Pug and can start some good conversations about friendship, kindness, and sportsmanship. Books that highlight these attributes are in high demand, and Pig does a great job of showing kids how you shouldn’t act! Recommended.
