  • Goodnight Piggywiggy: A Pull-the-Page book

    Diane Fox, Christyan Fox

    Hardcover (Chronicle Books, Aug. 1, 2000)
    PiggyWiggy is an endearing character with an imagination that literally stretches beyond the limits of the page. From pilot to pirate, doctor to driver, this engaging porker imagines his career options before snuggling up in bed with a book. Always at his side: His faithful companion Teddy. Bursting with energy, brilliant in color, intense with the emotions of childhood, PiggyWiggy exhibits many of the same qualities that distinguish Lucy Cousins' Maisy and Rosemary Wells' Max. A fold-out highlights every spread: a generous loop-the-loop almost 400 square inches large, flaps hiding a map to the pirate's treasure, a scrumptious two-foot-high cake, and more. PiggyWiggy's debut volume celebrates the magic of childhood while serving as a reassuring bedtime story.
