In the spirit of the bestselling classics DON''T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS and THE MONSTER AT THE END OF THIS BOOK comes a riotously funny, interactive picture book from a hot new team.

The reason you weren''t supposed to open this book is because it is not yet written ...You think it''s easy to put words together? Hah Now go away--I need time to think." So begins Pig''s valiant attempt to pen his masterpiece.
