Description
Alex the pig loves to eat, even between meals. When his mother catches him snacking on new potatoes, she sends him off to wash his dirty hooves in the river. On the way, he can't resist a bush full of luscious raspberries. But just as he is about to eat one, a huge shadow looms over him. It is a monster who also loves to eat and can't resist a bite between meals. Beautifully illustrated, this amusing tale takes young readers through all the wild reasons Alex comes up with so that he doesn't become the monster's next snack.
