Piggy Hero (Piggy 2)

These Piggy books are brilliant! Funny and well paced, they're great to read out loud to children.

Piggy Handsome is a very confident guinea pig with a hugely inflated ego - he hails from a long line of very famous guinea pigs. But sadly Handsome still hasn't achieved world renown. Well, now he has a new plan to get his name on the telly - he'll be someone's hero! When pushing Jeff Budgie off a roof and 'saving' him fails spectacularly, Handsome is at his wits' end. Little does he know, however, that the dastardly Dixons have escaped prison and are seeking revenge for their capture. What's more, Dan and Dolly's ghastly greed has led them to kidnapping, and now someone really does need saving! Can Piggy Handsome save the day for real? And will it earn him the fame he desperately desires?I absolutely adore anything by Pip Jones and I adored this read. I devoured this in one evening and became convinced that Piggy Handsome is my fictional twin! My year 2 class loved Piggy Handsome and Piggy Hero was quickly borrowed from my reading corner. A perfect read for year 2 and above.

My daughter loves these books
