The first book in the Diaries of Pig series
of chapter books, now in full colour - filled with Pig's hilarious
illustrations, wisdom and awful grammar on every page.
We love Pig (we can't help it), but Pig loves Farmer, and he can't
help it either.
After all, Farmer gives Pig yummy slops and special back scratches,
and calls him Sausage and seems to love him more, the fatter
he gets.
Just as well Pig doesn't speak any Farmer.
But Duck does (Duck's clever like that), and he's determined his
best friend should know the truth.
This is tough for Pig.
But Pig won't just sit there and weep (though we may do, on his
behalf), because there's help from an unexpected quarter: the Evil
Chickens have a plan...
Children will laugh themselves silly with Pig’s unique
voice, terrible grammar, and super funny illustrations throughout
each book.
For fans of the Babe films
