About this ebook
A feisty narrator and a determined pig-porcupine critter argue over whether this is Piggypine’s story in this rambunctious meta picture book about being yourself and seeing people for who they are, not who they’re not.
Half pig, half porcupine, Piggypine is looking for his story. Could this be it? The narrator sure doesn’t think so! Just look at Piggypine—he’s kind of a disaster. He’s terrible at running. His spelling is even worse. And his favorite snack is a paper towel smeared with honey! Not to mention, this story is about dogs, and Piggypine is most certainly not a dog.
But Piggypine is determined to stay, and as hijinks ensue, it seems like Piggypine’s story is coming to an end before it even begins. Or is it?
