| RRP | $19.99 |
A roll-in-the-mud adventure story about two piggies who LOVE food, but bite off more than they can chew.
Pongo and Stink are FED UP with living in a pigsty. They want to live a life of luxury, all cosy in the farmhouse, getting loving pats from Farmer Nic while eating scones and jam on toast - just like their tormentor, Rollo the dog. When Pongo has the daring idea of dressing up as pups, the two piggies set out to chase their dreams. But will the wily fox scupper their plans? Or will Pongo and Stink discover that to be yourself is the greatest, mud-splattered adventure of all?
An uproariously funny tale about the difficulties of trying to be something you're not, the power of true friendship and the perils of eating far too much cheese.
