My Review: Hamilton the Pig was about to tell a story about a pig but a big bear interrupter him. He told him to go away as the story was about him. Hamilton didn’t get to tell his story because different animals showed up wanting to be in the story. He told them to all go away. Finally he is alone and can now tell his story. But he only had one page left, the end page as the entire book was wasted by the other animals wanting to be a part of the story. This is another fun book by Dani Jones.
FTC Disclosure: I received a review copy of this book from Stan Lee's Kids Universe in exchange for a fair and honest review. I was not monetarily compensated for my opinion in any way.

I love, love, LOVE the illustrations. However, I don't think the story is anything new. It's very cute and I'd totally use it for a story time, but it's not breaking any ground here.
