PIG the PUG by Aaron Blabey


Pig is the greediest Pug in the world. He is ill-tempered, rude and unreasonable. When Pig the Pug is asked to share his toys, something unexpected happens. Hopefully Pig has learned a lesson!

Welcome to story.time.corner

Welcome kids to story.time.corner


Do you love books? Reading? Reading about great books? Then pop on over here anytime to cosy up in story.time.corner. Here you can read about brilliant new releases, comment on books we've shared and catch up on news about your favourite authors.

When I was little, I only had a few books but I read them over and over and over again. I remember going to Carlingford Library as a pre-schooler and staring overwhelmed by the number of books there.

My primary school only got a library when I was in year 3 - can you imagine that? It was really exciting. I loved picture books then, and they're still my favourite now.

So when you ask me what my top 5 books are? It's tough but...

  1. Guess how much I love you
  2. The rainbow fish
  3. Room on a broom 
  4. The terrible plop
  5. Thelma the unicorn 

You might notice that they're all picture books - I think I love them because I find pictures can be so memorable, often more so than words.

So, I wanted to ask you guys, what's your favourite book?

I can't wait to hear your favourites next time I pop back, maybe we can even look at a couple in class!
