Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

PW wrote that McPhail's "big, funny book will coax giggles out of little children," and added praise for the "glowing pastel paintings." Pig Pig clings to his babyish ways, even insisting on riding in his stroller when he's outgrown it, until a crisis inspires the spoiled boy to behave heroically.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of my childhood favorites!, December 31, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Pig Pig Grows Up (Paperback)

This is a great little book! It's about a pig who doesn't want to grow up. He insists on eating baby food and sleeping in his old crib. His poor mother is at her wits' end. Then he gets a chance to prove that he is growing up, and he decides he will grow up after all... I loved this book when I was little!

"Pig Pig refuses to grow up.
He is a big pig,
but he insists on sleeping in a crib,
eating strained foods,
wearing baby clothes,
and riding in a stroller.

Then one day,
PIG PIG SURPRISES EVERYONE---ESPECIALLY HIMSELF....."
