Captain Small Pig

Paperback edition of this charming story from the author of Can't You Sleep, Little Bear? with evocative illustrations from the illustrator of Badger's Parting Gifts.

"I'm Captain Commander!" Small Pig said. "Aye-Aye, Captain Small Pig!" yawned Old Goat. "You are in charge of this boat!" But Small Pig soon tires of rowing and falls asleep, and before they know it the boat is drifting across the lake, and grumpy Turkey is in for a soaking... Martin Waddell, award-winning author of Can't You Sleep, Little Bear?, perfectly captures the magic of a day out.
