Review:

'For Beaton, it really is a material world: she whips up bold, bright tableaux out of meticulously sewn felt... and embellishes the fuzzy fabric with judicious use of beads and sequins. Here, a smiling pink piggy coaxes the audiences through a rhyming series about different kinds of opposites, ending each vignette with the title question. The answer is revealed in the final spread, when the pig happily reunites with a sow whose girth spills off the pages: 'This pig is my mom and she's the biggest of all!' It's a sassy, unexpected wrap-up; Beaton will have her audience's attention all sewn up.' --Publishers Weekly

'Lovely illustrations with a gentle story in rhyme suitable for the very young.' --Irish Post
