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.
