Little Pig Joins the Band
Author(s): David Hyde Costello
Little Pig has trouble keeping up with his older--and bigger--brothers and sisters. When they get out Grandpa's old marching-band instruments, Little Pig is too little 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.
Product Information
"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."--The Horn Book Magazine
