I look forward to reading more of AJ's thought-provoking characters in stories to come!</p><p><br></p><p><strong>CT:</strong> I chuckled all the way through the story!! The illustrations perfectly depicted the hilarious characters! I especially loved the dog being completely content and happy in his world unlike most of us!</p><p><br></p><p><strong>BC:</strong> I loved the entire story. The characters were all relatable to people in real life. A story well told. I recommend it to everyone.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>NJ:</strong> Entertaining read for kids and adults. I absolutely love this book. It has a classic children's book feel with the beautiful and charming artwork and a story that will entertain both kids and adults. The adults get an extra bonus with this book as it makes you contemplate your relationships in a thoughtful and constructive way.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>KT: </strong> Delightful new take on animal fables. Pig and his neighbors learn from their interactions in a way that's engaging and never preachy. Beautiful illustrations bring the lovingly written tale to life.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>PD: </strong>I'd like to be like the dog in the story...content to be myself and not perturbed by anyone else's misbehavior. I thought the story was deep and profound. It feels like a lifetime of story writing all put in one little book. I've really never read anything like it before -- carry-on and write more!!</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
