A heartwarming summer read for boating enthusiasts and fans of Little Pig.

Little Pig is back in Little Pig Saves the Ship! When the sea-faring pigs go a-sailing! Intrepid Little Pig — still the littlest pig in the family — is too little to go to summer camp with his older brothers and sisters. He is left behind with Grandpa and Poppy. Little Pig and Poppy make and sail a toy ship all week, but on Saturday a gusty wind takes the ship into the current, and Little Pig has to use his newfound knot-tying skills to save the day.

A sweetly told intergenerational story about how even the littlest can make a big difference.

Praise for Little Pig Saves the Ship

Praise for Little Pig Joins the Band:

  • "Costello's winsome tale explores the travails of being the youngest and the littlest. . . . Humor lifts the story from a simple tale of woe to transcendence."--Kirkus Reviews
  • "The combination of lovely and understated text, sly watercolors, and a protagonist who knows in his heart that he's right make the premise feel fresh and funny."--Publishers Weekly
  • "Sprightly watercolor-and-ink drawings are the draw here, as Jacob and family alternate being the stars of the scenes. Jacob's asides are as fun as the family band."--Booklist

    • Praise for A Crow of His Own:
  • CCBC Choices
  • Bank Street Best Children's Books of the Year 2016
  • "Costello's pen-and-watercolor illustrations are a happy vehicle for the story, with colors from deep in the big crayon box, expressive penwork and a pleasing hominess to the farm."--Kirkus Reviews
