Join Pig in another fun read-aloud adventure on the farm and find out if she'll ever catch some ZZZs!
What this bedtime needs
is a pig in a wig
brushing her teeth,
combing her hair,
and getting ready for bed
with her pink teddy bear.
But with a honk, a quack, a moo, and more, it turns out what this bedtime really needs is a quieter place to sleep!
The "What This Story Needs..." books arebright andlively and inspire giggles."A story with echoes of Seuss and Willems," School Library Journal said in a starred review of What This Story Needs Is a Hush and a Shush.
"In a story with the echoes of Seuss and Willems, Virjan offers a very funny lesson about the unreliability of narrators." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A boatload of giggles will keep the reader returning for more easy-to-read fun." -- Kirkus Reviews
Emma J. Virjan was born under an Aries moon on a Wednesday, her dad's bowling night. She loves to draw and work in her garden, and she often lets her dog sleep on the couch. She makes her home in Austin, Texas, where she spends her days as an illustrator and graphic designer. Unlike Pig, Emma has never worn a wig, but she is thinking of buying one-a red one, of course.
