Reviews / Votes
Praise for Big Rig Pig:"This trucker has a hankering to help. Miles Bacon, a portly swine who drives a big rig, has a lot of friends on the road. Whenever someone needs a helping hand (or cloven hoof), Miles is the first to volunteer. Lively rhymes and lots of fun details to spot in the art make this a story to pore over. Readers will relate to Miles' lesson: Sometimes, accepting help is just as important as giving it. Clever and fun, with a much-needed reminder that friendship goes both ways."--Kirkus reviews
