About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the 'center of attention' syndrome or finding it difficult to share credit with a friend or sibling. It is the perfect antidote to competitive streaks and diva-like behavior during playdates. The story follows Pig, a wonderfully expressive pug who demands to be the star of a photo shoot, only to realize that his greed and jealousy lead to a very public, and very funny, downfall. While Pig is undeniably the 'bad example,' his antics provide a safe, humorous way to discuss the importance of supporting others. At ages 3 to 7, children are navigating the complex transition from ego-centric play to collaborative friendship. This book uses slapstick humor and rhythmic rhyme to model why being a 'star' is never as important as being a good friend.
