Editorial Reviews

Giving a pig a party is a mixed blessing. First, the little porker will ask for some balloons. When you give her the balloons, she'll want to begin a total home makeover. And make no mistake; it only escalates from there…. This rib-tickling porcine treat in the tradition of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and If You Give a Pig a Pancake is definitely a "read it again" book.
