ABOUT
"Another holiday enlivened by this bumbling, lovable piggy protagonist." --Kirkus reviews
"A fun and festive choice for holiday collections."--School Library Journal
Cupig loves love. She loves love more than chilly hands love fuzzy gloves. On a chilly December night, Cupig receives an urgent call from a sick and sniffly Santa Claus. After thorough instruction, she's ready to fill in for Santa Claus and don the red hat and suit.
But when delivering presents proves to be harder than she thought, Cupig will have to learn about the real meaning of Christmas if she's going to fix her mistakes and save the day!
With clever rhyming text and comically expressive art and from New York Times bestselling duo Claire Tattersfield and Rob Sayegh Jr., Cupig Saves Christmas is a hilarious and sweet Christmas adventure. Perfect for fans of How to Catch Santa Claus, Little Blue Truck's Christmas, and The Crayons' Christmas!
STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS
Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.
In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
