Pungent Pug! Pig the Stinker by Aaron Blabey

Pardon my double negatives, but Pig the Pug is not named "Pig" for nothing! Pig the Pug is a PIG and he likes to smell like one!

PIG LIKED TO GET DIRTY. HE FRANKLY WAS RANK.
HIS PAWS COULD BE FRIGHTFUL. HIS FUR OFTEN STANK.

HE WASN'T OFFENDED BY ODOR OR SMELL.
AND IF YOU WEREN'T CAREFUL, HE'D SMELL YOU (Ahem!)
AS WELL.

His co-pet, the meticulous and timid Trevor the wiener pooch, is incensed (pardon the pun)! He watches in disbelief as Pig rolls in garbage and unmentionable muck, and his favorite and most frequent beverage comes from (Yuck!)--the toilet.

Trevor's owner decrees that Pig must be bathed. With trepidation Trevor pulls on his little shower cap and prays that this is not going to be a communal cleansing.

But fat chance of that, as Pig the Stinker turns tail and makes a run for it, sneaking back to sabotage the water supply, stuffing a doggie toy into an important pipe. Who knew Pig the Pug was Pig the plumber?

Fortunately for Trevor and the rest of the family, Pig stinks as a plumber, too, and the ensuing explosion converts his hiding place into a powerful drive-through dogwash and Pig gets a shower he won't soon forget, in Aaron Blabey's latest in his hilarious rhyming Pig the Pug series, Pig the Stinker (Pig the Pug) (Scholastic Press, 2018). There's even a big laugh on the final page, as Pig finds a way to pollute even the bathtub. It seems American kids can't get enough of the Aussie author-illustrator Blabey's perpetually problematic portly pet pug, and no doubt the malodorous Pig the Pug will soon be back in more unseemly adventures in this best-selling series.
