The laughter is nonstop as everyone's favorite greedy and selfish pug is sent to obedience school in this picture book from #1 New York Times bestselling author-illustrator Aaron Blabey. Pig was a pug and I'm sorry to say, after years of his antics it was now time to pay. Pig's bad behavior has finally caught up with him -- it's time for OBEDIENCE SCHOOL!

Rich with author-illustrator Aaron Blabey's signature rhyming text and unforgettable illustrations, Pig the Rebel is a laugh-out-loud story that follows the nine previous books in the series ( Pig the Pug , Pig the Winner , Pig the Elf , Pig the Star , Pig the Fibber , Pig the Stinker , Pig the Tourist , Pig the Slob , and Pig the Monster ). K-Gr 2—Pig the pug is back, and he has been a very naughty dog! The story opens on a scene of domestic destruction; oil is spilled all over the rug, and there is a surfboard smashed through the TV set. Pig is dispatched to obedience school, where he meets a hilarious group of dogs and a dog trainer who has no tolerance for any shenanigans. After the first command to sit is bellowed his way, Pig is determined to break out and take the rest of his classmates with him. Absolute mayhem ensues, and an explosive calamity causes a dramatic set of changes to Pig, leaving readers laughing out loud and wondering if our hero can indeed have a true change of heart.
