Pigsticks Pig, with cake-loving hamster assistant Harold, embarks on an expedition to the Ends of the Earth. In three generously illustrated chapters we follow the explorers as they survive swamps, deserts, rickety rope bridges, malevolent mountain goats, and an avalanche. Deliberate disconnects between text and pictures (the art is slapdash-goofy) carry much of the humor in this tongue-in-cheek-funny, mildly satirical early chapter book.
