Description
Little Pig has trouble keeping up with his four older--and bigger--brothers and sisters. When a visit to Grandpa's house turns into a rummage through Grandpa's old marching-band instruments, Little Pig is too small to play any of them. But when the disorganized band has a pig-pile mishap, Little Pig has a BIG idea: They could use a leader. David Hyde Costello's warm illustrations and goofy speech-bubble dialogue add giggles galore to this iconic story of little-siblinghood. Perfect for youngests, oldests, and everyone in between!

Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Costello's winsome tale explores the travails of being the youngest and the littlest."
--Kirkus Reviews "Costello isn't pioneering new ground with this story of how a family's littlest member asserts his competence, but the combination of lovely and understated text, sly watercolors, and a protagonist who knows in his heart that he's right make the premise feel fresh and funny."
--Publishers Weekly "An uplifting tale with a gentle lesson about how even the smallest member of the band has something to contribute."
--Shelf Awareness "Young readers will likely recognize Little Pig's predicament and give his take-charge solution a big hand."
