Praise
Praise for Pigs Dig a Road:
“Succinct, rhyming verses, perfect for reading out loud, take readers on a rubble-rousing adventure . . . Enjoyably abuzz with slapstick chaos, Biggs’ illustrations do the text’s many action words justice. A buoyant story about teamwork, sure to entertain and resonate with young readers.” —Booklist
“For collaboration and construction enthusiasts, this work about leading through empowering others (even unintentionally) underlines the capacity for anyone—or any pig—to steer.” —Publishers Weekly
“Truck mavens will especially appreciate this humorous tale, expressed in jaunty rhymes; they’ll enjoy observing favorites doing their special tasks, while others will learn about specific trucks’ functions. Commendably, Finison and Biggs portray female characters—indeed, one in a supervisory position—in typically male-dominated jobs. Biggs’ thick-lined, digital illustrations of expressive, industrious pigs are comically lively; onomatopoeic words are occasionally incorporated into the artwork. A cheery tale with a much-needed message: The road to success is predicated on collaboration.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Biggs’s detailed, motion-filled scenes will delight building enthusiasts. Compositionally, the art also supports the text’s theme of collaboration . . . And, like any good construction story, this one’s packed with opportunities for enthusiasts to spot their favorite vehicles.” —The Horn Book
