Piggy Handsome – ‘a guinea pig destined to be sat on’ is a new series for young readers who enjoy a good laugh. Beautifully illustrated with soft charismatic drawings by Adam Stower which perfectly catches the charm of this little creature and his best buddie Jeff a little blue budgie. Piggy Handsome is published by Faber and Faber in August just in time for the summer holiday, written by Pip Jones, who also wrote all about Squishy McFluff, the invisible cat.
Excerpt…
Meet Piggy Handsome!
Just look at that smile!
This guinea pig has such charisma and style!
He is, after all, the nineteenth generation
of Handsomes, and each one an utter sensation!
But poor Piggy Handsome, something went wrong.
He’s been waiting for fame and for fortune SO long.
And now, here he sits, just dreaming up capers
(ways that he might get his name in the papers).
Could this be his chance? Are you desperate to know?
Well, let’s see! Turn the page and on with the show!
