Reviews
"There are wonderful details . . . spines of the books go from fuzzy lines to actual titles when the Book Hog learns to read."
"There’s nothing especially new here, but the good-natured celebration of books, reading, and libraries will charm fellow bibliophiles, and the author’s fans will enjoy making another anthropomorphic animal friend."
