Excerpt

Sometimes Little Pig didn't like being little, or even being called Little Pig. When his brothers and sisters got out Grandpa's old marching-band instruments, Little Pig looked for something he could play. Little Pig was too little to play the drum, so Margie played the drum. Little Pig was too little to play the trombone, so Peter played the trombone. Little Pig was too little to play the trumpet, so Sally played the trumpet.

Media reviews

"Costello’s winsome tale explores the travails of being the youngest and the littlest."
--Kirkus Reviews

"Costello isn't pioneering new ground with this story of how a family's littlest member asserts his competence, but 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

"An uplifting tale with a gentle lesson about how even the smallest member of the band has something to contribute."
--Shelf Awareness

"Young readers will likely recognize Little Pig's predicament and give his take-charge solution a big hand."
--The Horn Book Magazine
