About This Book

A parent should reach for this book when their child is turning every game into a must-win battle, complete with cheating or post-loss tantrums. This hilarious cautionary tale follows Pig, a pug who is an absolutely terrible sport. He cheats, he gloats, and he cannot stand losing to his sweet-natured friend, Trevor. Pig's need to win at all costs escalates to ridiculous heights, leading to a comical and explosive consequence that lands him in a full-body cast. Through its zany rhymes and slapstick humor, the story provides a perfect, low-stakes way to start a conversation about good sportsmanship, fairness, and why playing together is more important than winning. It's an ideal, funny mirror for competitive kids aged 3 to 7, showing them the absurdity of being a poor sport without being preachy.
