Book Synopsis

An all-new Pig the Pug picture book from internationally bestselling author-illustrator Aaron Blabey.

Pug was a Pug, and I'm sorry to say, he was shockingly lazy.Such a shameful display...Pig, the world's greediest pug, is back -- and he won't get off the couch! Pig spends all day, every day lounging around, binging snacks and TV. Trevor tries to convince him to come out and play, but Pig won't budge! Until one day, something happens to get Pig up off the couch once and for all...Rich with author-illustrator Aaron Blabey's signature rhyming text and unforgettable illustrations, Pig the Slob is a laugh-out-loud story that follows the seven previous books in the series (Pig the Pug, Pig the Winner, Pig the Elf, Pig the Star, Pig the Fibber, Pig the Stinker, and Pig the Tourist).
