Description

A feisty narrator and a determined pig-porcupine critter argue over whether this is Piggypines story in this rambunctious meta picture book about being yourself and seeing people for who they are, not who theyre not.

Half pig, half porcupine, Piggypine is looking for his story. Could this be it The narrator sure doesnt think so! Just look at Piggypinehes kind of a disaster. Hes terrible at running. His spelling is even worse. And his favorite snack is a paper towel smeared with honey! Not to mention, this story is about dogs, and Piggypine is most certainly not a dog.

But Piggypine is determined to stay, and as hijinks ensue, it seems like Piggypines story is coming to an end before it even begins. Or is it
