Pig the Cranky

Reach for this book when your child is in the middle of a 'mine' phase or struggling to regulate their temper when asked to share. This hilarious, rhyming story features Pig, a selfish pug who refuses to play fair, and his patient friend Trevor. It addresses the raw, often messy reality of preschooler tantrums and the social consequences of being a 'cranky' friend. While many books on sharing are overly sweet, Aaron Blabey uses slapstick humor and exaggerated expressions to show kids exactly how ridiculous a meltdown looks from the outside. It is perfect for children aged 3 to 7 who respond better to laughter than to lectures. The story serves as a gentle mirror, allowing parents to discuss big feelings and social boundaries without being preachy.
