Pig has only ever had a pet hamster, nits and a verruca called Vincent.
So when he and Raj find a cat tied up in a shopping bag, Pig decides to keep it – even though it is the ugliest cat he has ever seen.
But Pig’s mum has other ideas. She says Baldy Cat must go.
Will Pig get to keep his new pet?
Part of our bestselling series of ‘handwritten’ diary entries about the laugh-out-loud exploits of Peter Ian Green, this is an outrageously funny tale (with a big heart) that will crack even the most reluctant of readers.
"Year 7 boy had never finished a book in his life. He’s now finished 6 PIG books just this half term and told me today his family are celebrating!"
Eileen Armstron, Librarian
"The new PIG titles arrived today. We had advance requests for them – a first for any reluctant reader book. More titles please!"
Sandra Parry, Librarian
"We read ‘PIG and the Long Fart’ out loud to secondary age students for World Book Day yesterday – the students were engaged and laughing out loud. (Me too!)"
Gaynor, Teacher
"I just wanted to write to you to say how much of a fan I am of the PIG books. I've wanted PIG books because I read PIG and the Long Fart in school and really enjoyed it. My favourite part is when Pig farts in front of the whole school and the mayor tells him that he farted on his wedding day and his wife did not speak to him for a long time! Thank you for keeping me entertained, Mummy said she's never seen me soooo excited over books."
Eve Lucas, aged 9
"The children really enjoyed reading these stories. They really liked the style of the book and how the text is set out. There was a lot of giggling as the children were reading – they found it funny and a bit rude!"
Miss Wiseman, Felsted Primary School
"The books offer a believable home and school life, funny situations, and they touch on the inner feelings of the character, which can often be overlooked in similar books. Being the parent of a dyslexic child, I know how hard it is to find books that are both enjoyable to read and of a suitable length to maintain reading momentum and this series seems to strike a good balance."
