Pig and Pug are very different (but not really). See how their similarities show up in this mischievous picture book that’s perfect for pet lovers.
Pig and Pug are petite and portable pets—one in a pocket, one in a purse. They are also two spunky spirits: Pug, rather pugnacious; Pig, a bit pigheaded. When these two meet, bickering, chasing, and even some mud wrestling ensue. But after some creative compromises, Pig and Pug manage to settle their differences and become friends...at least for the time being.

Lynne Berry has published numerous poems in Cricket and Ladybug magazines, and she is the author of the picture books Duck Skates, The Curious Demise of the Contrary Cat, What Floats in a Moat?, and Pig and Pug. Lynne lives in Nashville, Tennessee.
PreS-K—Pig and Pug spot each other and confusion immediately arises about whether Pig is a pug and if Pug might actually be a pig. Initially excited by the sight of someone the same size and shape, the diminutive pair eventually find themselves disagreeing and taunting each other. After a time out leads to a tumble into the mud for Pug, the two apologize and become friends...but only for a moment. With a simple color palette, the digital artwork is soothing to the eyes as well as humorously appealing. The minimal text gets the emotions across by not overly explaining what's going in. Children will laugh as Pig and Pug argue. Fans of books that utilize a limited vocabulary, like Jeff Mack's Ah Ha (Chronicle, 2013) and David LaRochelle's Moo! (Bloomsbury, 2014) will delight in the silly squabbles. VERDICT A fun addition to most picture book collections.—Paige Garrison, Aurora Central Public Library, CO
