Pig the pug has found his perfect spot on the couch and refuses to move. Day after day, he lounges around eating snacks and watching television while his friend Trevor tries to get him outside to play. Pig shows no interest in budging from his comfortable position. Trevor keeps trying different ways to convince the lazy pug to be active, but Pig remains stubbornly planted on his cushions. The standoff continues until something finally happens that forces Pig to get up from the couch once and for all. Aaron Blabey tells this story in his characteristic rhyming verse, accompanied by his distinctive illustrations that bring Pig's slobbish behavior to life. This eighth book in the popular series continues the adventures of the world's greediest pug, showing young readers what happens when laziness takes over completely.
