  | Full Text Reviews: Booklist - 01/01/2017 A Pig in a Wig returns with “a twang, a tootle,” and a full animal band of fun. Strong visuals welcome the reader on the cover, with Pig in a Wig’s arms and cymbals held high, and then the story opens with the Pig in a Wig Band set to play their first concert, until mouse comes along, tuba in tow, and scares Elephant. Bold digital coloring over charcoal sketches combines with instrument sounds that will have little ones stomping their feet with “a tish, a tootle, a bwap, and a boom.“ The endpapers contribute, too, repeating images of a tuba with one tiny mouse popping out of the bell with a mischievous smile. The fourth Pig in a Wig adventure works well for one-on-one reading and also as a read-aloud, thanks to the dark outlines and easy-to-read font. An entertaining new addition to a popular series. - Copyright 2017 Booklist. Loading...
