What if a PIG got stuck up your NOSE? How ever would you get it
out?
When Natalie has to go to school with a pig stuck up her nose, her whole
class gets together to find a way to get the pig out. But how will they
do it?
The zany humour of Sue Hendra (of Supertato and Barry the Fish with
Fingers fame) meets Babe the Pig in this funny picture book. This
delightfully silly tale, brought to life by warm, comical artwork from
rising star Laura Hughes, will have children giggling and oinking out
loud to try to work out how to get a farmyard animal out of someone's
nose.
The perfect picture book for boys and girls aged 3 years and up - or for
anyone who has ever got something stuck up their nose!
"This very funny, sweet story won the hearts of the judging panel.
Oink!" @oscarsbookprize
"The surprise comes right at the start, and what a wonderfully dotty
premise to begin a story with, about problem solving in the classroom.
Brilliantly structured too" - Julia Eccleshare
"Everything about There's a Pig Up My Nose! is entrancing, from the
title onwards; it also features the best PE excuse note ever" - The
Guardian
