Pig the Stinker by Aaron Blabey - ADVISABLE

Pig the Stinker by Aaron Blabey. PICTURE BOOK. Scholastic, 2018. $15. 9781338337549

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

Told with impeccably well cadanced text, Pig the Pug books are fun to read aloud. In this one, Pig is starting to stink but will not take a bath. When he ultimately makes the bathroom explode, he finally gives in and gets clean (only to then pass gas in the bathtub).

Kids love this naughty, but also strangely charming pug. The book does use the word “butt” and utilizes a lot of bathroom humor, so you may have to consider your audience when pulling this book off the shelf.
