ABOUT

Introducing an irresistible new character, sure to capture the hearts (and giggles) of readers everywhere, perfect for fans of Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus and the Pig the Pug series!

This one-of-a-kind picture book is a guaranteed laugh for messy kids ages 0–99.

"Whole-hog fun."--Kirkus Reviews


When Piggle's parents let him know that they'll be stopping by, preparing for their visit seems positively easy. All he has to do is put away several months' worth of laundry, remove an extraordinary amount of trash, and wipe down any surfaces that might be covered in grime and mildew (which is all of them). And wait... who is that living in the washing machine? Nothing your average pig can't handle!

Children who dread room-cleaning day, adults who freeze up when facing the task of housecleaning, or just about anyone who has faced down a sink full of dishes will find Piggle's struggle relatable. Uniquely hilarious, Piggle the Pig will delight readers as he faces the universal struggle of preparing for unanticipated houseguests.

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.
