SUMMARY
"Pig the Fibber" by Aaron Blabey introduces readers to the mischievous pug named Pig, who just can't resist telling lies. Pig has a habit of stretching the truth and telling tall tales to get what he wants. However, his lies start to catch up with him, leading to a series of humorous and disastrous consequences and an unhappy friend named Trevor. As the story unfolds, Pig learns valuable lessons about the consequences of dishonesty and the importance of telling the truth and being honest. Through colorful illustrations and playful storytelling, the book delivers an entertaining and relatable tale that teaches readers the value of truthfulness and the consequences of what happens when you are not being honest!
