PS
Pig, a greedy pug dog, will not share with fellow pet Trevor, a dachshund. But Pig gets his comeuppance when he becomes confined to a full body cast. Despite its darkly humorous, unique spin on a familiar subject, the rhyme scheme is cloying and has too many bold and capitalized exclamations. The serviceable acrylic illustrations feature dogs with cartoonishly large eyes.
