PIG THE STINKER SUMMARY

Pig the Stinker is a clever and entertaining Pig the Pug book. In this story, Pig is absolutely filthy and rancid. No smells bother him and he picks up more and more stinky smells throughout the story. He does things that make you scream YUCK!


When it is finally time for Pig to take a bath, he runs out of the bathroom trying to escape! Then he makes a sneaky plan and blocks the pipes in the bathroom so the tub can’t fill with water. This causes the whole bathroom to explode!


Things are different now and even though Pig doesn’t like it, he takes baths and works on his hygiene.
