Pig Skives off School 

Pig and his best friend Raj decide that they don’t actually need to go to school every day. Going for just a few days in a week is enough. So one day they take the day off school and decide to watch the news being filmed in the High Street. They are lucky enough to be interviewed by the News Lady, who promises that Pig and Raj’s skiving off school will be ‘their little secret’. Everybody lies. Boys love PIG! Peter Ian Green has another hilarious adventure in this book, one of the bestselling series ‘PIG’ by Barbara Catchpole. Coupled with fantastic black-and-white illustrations and an easy-to-read diary format, the laugh-out-loud humour and tale of friendship will appeal to all readers.
