5.0 out of 5 stars Are you 'Pig Enough?', November 8, 2003

This review is from: Pig Enough (Hardcover)

I am a huge fan of Bynum's books and this, her latest is no exception! It's fun and funny and gave me the warm fuzzies.

Willy is an adorable Guinea Pig who wants to join the Pig Scouts. All the oinkers tell him he isn't pig enough to be real Pig Scout but little Willy proves them all wrong on a Pig Scout outing.

Adults and children both will enjoy the humorous scenes of Willy trying on his Pig Scout uniform and attempting piggy activities.

A perfect picture book that is pig enough for all!

Willy wanted to be a pig scout. He was a pig after all. But not the common curly tailed wallow in the mud type. Willy was a guinea pig. None of the other real pigs thought he was pig enough to be a pig scout. They taunted and teased him endlessly. But in the end Willy shows them what he's really made of. Find out how Willy proves that his is pig enough and saves the day in the process.
