Pig the Pug
Pig the Pug | Aaron Blabey
25 posts | 18 read | 8 to read
A rollicking, rhyming story about a pug that just won't share! Meet the greediest pug in the world. Pig is ill-tempered, rude, and unreasonable. He lives with Trevor the sausage dog, who would like nothing better than to play with Pig's toys. When Trevor asks Pig to share, Pig replies, "They're mine. GO AWAY!" and gathers all his toys into one great big pile. Pig climbs on top of his stash to taunt Trevor, but the pile gives way and he goes tumbling down . . . ending up in a full-body cast! Will Pig the Pug learn his lesson at last?

Hey! Just checking in to let everyone know all is well! Just haven‘t been doing any reading at all - my minimal brain power and energy has been put towards nesting and getting ready for baby Benjamin.💙

Time is such a crazy thing. I‘ve been pregnant for three seasons, but yet it feels like no time at all, and also not soon enough until we meet him.😊

I‘ve been working on building up his little library, with my favourite book being Pig the Pug.🐶

Clwojick @iamcourtneyb Most of my go-tot‘s were childhood favourites like Robert Munsch, Little Critters, Clifford, Berenstain Bears,Franklin, Arthur etc. But some newer gems I‘ve found include the Pig the Pug series, Pug and Chick, anything by Sandra Boynton, and then anything Holiday themed! (Christopher Pumpkin is a Halloween gem!) I LOVE the “How Do Dinosaurs…” series, but I haven‘t purchased any yet. ☺️ 9mo

Mehso-so

Just a tiny bit dark in tone, something the adults can appreciate in picture books. Not quite 'original Grimm's fairy tales' type ending, but certainly leans toward delivering a dire fate to the wrong doer as a moral lesson to readers.
Whether depicting the greedy character as fat is the wrong kind of messaging to send to kids today, feels sadly like a question that was just emerging into the mainstream when this book was first published.

Review: Pig the Pug by Aaron Blabey, 2015 is a picture book about a greedy pug named Pig. He doesn't like to share and eventually learns his lesson. It's a very funny book with hilarious pictures and phrases.
Blurb: This book is a good one for a read aloud as well because of the character you can put into Pig when he speaks. It's a very fun and unique book.
Quote: “Well, Pig flipped his wig.“

Pig the Pug is a Fictional book by Aaron Blabey. It tells the tale of a quirky, yet selfish pug who learns the hard way how to share. With a strong message of kindness, this book is perfect for teaching all students CSEFEL otherwise known as social-emotional development strategies. Also great for a RA. Linked is an activity that would pair well with the book for after reading.

Theo is so excited for his new stufty and some yummy treats!!! They came with a sweet card from Pickles, Michele and Johanna. He says thank you as he is currently trying to break the squeaker in his new toy! 😂🤪 Thank you so much @MicheleinPhilly for the wonderful gift from the three of you!!! So thoughtful!

tracey38 He looks like he wants it bad! So cute. 6y
MicheleinPhilly Busting squeakers is Pickles‘ favorite pastime! Well that and covering our house in stuffing. Enjoy Theo! 6y
eanderson @tracey38 he was very impatient and this was the best I could do for pictures! 😂 @MicheleinPhilly that is Theo‘s as well! Basically destroying is something he thoroughly enjoys. He is now asleep with the nose in his mouth. Thank you so much again! 6y

This fictional book by Aaron Blabey is a good edition to any Kindergarten- 2nd grade classroom library. It received picture book of the year in 2005. We follow the adventures of Pig and his relationship with Trevor. Pig isn‘t so nice, and eventually, he gets a taste of his own medicine and gets put in Trevor‘s shoes. www.thelittlereadingroom.com.au/book-review/pig-the-pug/ has several great activities to do with kids after this read aloud!

prissy.mooney #UCFLAE3414SuB18 EL4 will have students relate information from the text to their prior knowledge, while UDL 3.2 points out patterns, big ideas and critical features 6y
DrSpalding These books are so much fun. I agree that students would be able to relate to information regarding dogs in general. 6y

#ucflae3414f17 Pig the Pug by Aaron Blabey is an easy reader great for Pre K through 1st grade classroom libraries. This F book is about a greedy pug who never wants to share his toys with his housemate Trevor (a wiener dog). The illustrations are hilarious! Young readers will enjoy this funny story as they learn a valuable lesson about sharing. I think that this book would be perfect for storytelling, kids would love to see this performed!

Radams Lamontbooks.com.au/media/22144/pig-the-pug.pdf is a great lesson for teachers to tie into their storytelling. It has discussion questions and other activities for students to participate in. Through storytelling, teachers would be using UDL 1.3 ‘offer alternatives for visual information‘. EL 17 ‘provide contextual support through audio visuals, models, demonstrations, realia, body language and facial expressions‘, ties into storytelling as well. 7y
Floribelg The strategies you chose are great for this picture book! The link with all the discussion questions would be great to use during a GR or RA. Can't wait to read this book. 7y

Pig the Pug is an iconic character that came to life in this book. In this F story, Pig doesn‘t want to share any of his toys no matter what Trevor suggested. This book use rhyming and funny anecdotes to teach the theme that when we share, life can be so much more fun! In this activity, students need to think about a time they didn‘t want to share and why: https://romisharp.wordpress.com/2014/09/29/pig-the-pug-teaching-notes/

Pig is a pug who just doesn‘t share. You can beg, and plead, but he just doesn‘t care! This MF picture book is a cute story that I would love to see as a RT. It teaches about sharing, and I believe students would love the story. https://romisharp.wordpress.com/2014/09/29/pig-the-pug-teaching-notes/ provides information on the book, questions to ask before, during, and after reading, and a writing excercise you could provide after!

MorganH UDL 9.2 ‘Facilitate personal coping skills and strategies‘ could be used to help deal with children not wanting to share, and help them become more accepting of the thought of sharing with classmates. EL 4 links the topic to prior knowledge, such as when they didn‘t want to share, or someone wouldn‘t share with them, and what they did. #UCFLAE3414F17 7y
AndreaC This book seems awesome to teach children about sharing in a more fun and creative way! 7y
MakennaK This would be so cute as readers theater! (edited) 7y
DrSpalding I think one of you should turn it into a readers theater for your choice assignment! I also think that this is a great read aloud for short i and short u words.🙂 7y

Pig the Pug is a modern fantasy book written by Aaron Blabey. It tells the story of a greedy pug who does not like to share with his friend. It's a cute story that is great for children to hear, especially those that don't like to share. https://romisharp.wordpress.com/2014/09/29/pig-the-pug-teaching-notes/ #UCFLAE3414sp17

An excellent fable with an unexpected consequence to the choice of not sharing.
