Bookroo's summary

Pig Pig dreads leaving home for a road trip with Aunt Wilma and Uncle Fred, preferring his rocket model and comics. But as the journey unfolds, Pig Pig discovers new wonders. Yet, a nagging worry persists—will his mother and Fluffy the cat remember him when he returns? This delightful tale explores the excitement and anxiety of stepping into the unknown.

From the publisher

Pig Pig doesn’t want to go on a road trip with Aunt Wilma and Uncle Fred! Pig Pig would rather stay home and spend his summer vacation building a rocket ship model or reading back issues of Daring Pig Exploits. Besides, his mother and Fluffy the cat might miss him too much. His uncle insists that this is the opportunity of a lifetime, and soon Pig Pig is enjoying an eye-opening road trip. But he worries–what if his mother and Fluffy don’t remember him when he gets back? This charming and timeless story of trying new things and managing trips away from home and family will delight.
