Pig habitually keeps a tall pile of books nearby and reads through them one by one. His friends expect to see him reading at home, on a bus, or at the beach. When he runs out of books and cannot locate anything else to read, Pig decides on a solution of his own: he will create a book himself. The artwork uses full-page acrylic illustrations.
