Settle down with this funny book and learn about the magic of reading as a kind librarian teaches a silly pig how much fun reading can be!

The Book Hog loves books -- the way they look, the way they feel, the way they smell--and he'll grab whatever he can find. There's only one problem: he can't read! But when a kind librarian invites him to join for storytime, this literature-loving pig discovers the treasure that books really are.

Greg Pizzoli, master of read-aloud fun and three-time Theodor Seuss Geisel Award recipient, introduces a character sure to steal kids' hearts using his signatureย  lighthearted narrative style.

"Even non-Book-Hogs should have this one. It's that good." โ€”Jon Klassen, Caldecott Medal winner for This Is Not My Hat

"A book that readers will be eager to hog." โ€”Booklist

"Even non-Book-Hogs should have this one. It's that good."โ€”Jon Klassen, Caldecott Medal winner for This Is Not My Hat "The good-natured celebration of books, reading, and libraries will charm fellow bibliophiles."โ€”Kirkus Reviews "A book that readers will be eager to hog."โ€”Booklist "Kids will get the clear message that libraries are great places to get comfy with books as well as to read them--and also that any library with room for a scooter-riding porker has room for you."โ€”The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books Expand reviews
