About This Book
A parent should reach for this book when their child is starting to experiment with fibs to get out of trouble, especially by blaming others. Pig the Fibber features a very naughty pug named Pig who tells increasingly outrageous lies to avoid taking responsibility for his messes, always blaming his sweet-natured friend, Trevor. The story uses rhyming text and hilarious, expressive illustrations to show how one small lie can snowball into a massive, teetering pile of trouble. Through extreme, slapstick humor, it explores themes of honesty, fairness, and the natural consequences of our actions in a way that is memorable and funny, not preachy. It's a perfect conversation starter for children aged 4 to 7 about why telling the truth is always the better option, even when it's hard.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book's approach to consequences is metaphorical and handled with cartoon-style slapstick. There are no sensitive topics like death, divorce, or identity. The resolution is humorous and hopeful, implying Pig might have learned a lesson, though his character's nature suggests he will continue to be comically flawed.
