My kids [2 and 4] received the original Pig the Pug book last Christmas and it was love/hate for me. They liked the story alright, and I guess there is sort of a lesson... but it really introduces some horrible behavior and the "lesson" learned is pretty empty.
Spoiler alert: all there rest of the series are exactly the same. Here was the kicker for me - in EVERY. SINGLE. BOOK. the "lesson" really just comes by Pig being hurt physically somehow. It's lazy and unoriginal in terms of the narrative, but it is also just a poor learning moment for small children. There's no reflection, clearly over the course of the series Pig never learns anything, and the only consequence it teaches is physical pain or suffering. This is garbage. Maybe it's better for older kids who have a grasp of physical humor, but even then, it's lame that it is the same result in every volume.

Not for anyone who doesn't agree with the LGBTQ messages being sent to kids without warning.

This could have been a great book, had the author not decided to send a message by dressing the male dog in female clothing (Marilyn Monroe, Queen of Hearts, cheerleader in bikini/skirt, mermaid). It's sad that we have to read and look at every page of a book to understand the real message being sent to our children.
