About the Books:

"Clever and fun . . . lively rhymes and lots of fun details in the art make this a story to pore over."--Kirkus Reviews

Got a truck stuck in a ditch?
Or a hot dog cart that needs a hitch?
Miles Bacon's the one to call,
There's not a thing that he can't haul!

When Miles Bacon spends the whole day helping out others, hauling boxes, five tons of apples, and even an entire circus, he learns that maybe he doesn't have to do it all. And that sometimes, it's okay if he's the one who needs help; good friends will always be there to lend a helping hand, or truck!

With bouncy, rhyming text and comically expressive art from New York Times bestselling duo Claire Tattersfield and Rob Sayegh Jr., Big Rig Pig is a sweet and funny story about a determined and dependable truck-driving pig. Includes two special fold-out pages.
