Critics Review
“Costello’s winsome tale explores the travails of being the youngest and the littlest.”
–Kirkus Reviews
“Costello isn’t pioneering new ground with this story of how a family’s littlest member asserts his competence, but the combination of lovely and understated text, sly watercolors, and a protagonist who knows in his heart that he’s right make the premise feel fresh and funny.”
–Publishers Weekly
“An uplifting tale with a gentle lesson about how even the smallest member of the band has something to contribute.”
–Shelf Awareness
“Young readers will likely recognize Little Pig’s predicament and give his take-charge solution a big hand.”
–The Horn Book Magazine
