Description
You're not going to find a more heartwarming dynamic duo than Pig and Mouse! Join Pig as he learns how to turn his "what if" worries from anxiety to optimism, all with the help of his loving friend Mouse.
"Readers will certainly empathise with Pig and his emotions." --Kirkus
"Hunter's picture book will draw its audience with vibrant colours, oh-so-adorable characters, and plenty of silliness." --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"Young readers will learn that being afraid is a common, temporary feeling, and that they can talk to others about it." --School Library Journal
Mouse has never had a friend quite like Pig. Pig is so incredibly kind, fabulously fun, but he also has a big secret—he's a tremendous worrier!
When Pig gets the brilliant idea to throw a party for Mouse and their friends, he can't help but think of everything that could possibly go wrong. After all, what if a lion eats all the invitations? What if nobody comes? Or worse, what if everyone comes and has an awful time?
In this adorable story, Linzie Hunter's charming, bright illustrations pair perfectly with her sweet and funny story about friendship and the endless wonder of "what if" that readers of all ages can relate to. This picture book is a great conversation starter in the home or classroom.
