“This was a very cute book that looks at friendships in a whole new way. While the friendship of these two unlikely characters is not traditional however they still learn to find friendship through their adversity. This is a great book that was a ton of fun. My daughter and I loved the new way of looking at friendships and it opened us up to talking about a lot of issues in regards to the friendships she has as well!” —Dad of Divas

"I liked the book because it was funny, and the Fly was cute. The illustrations were cute and colorful. I also thought the plot was good, and I liked that the book was about friendship. My favorite part of the book was when the Pesky Fly landed on the Pig’s nose." —Kids' Book Buzz (Maddie, Age 5)
"The illustrations are strong enough to stand on their own. Children will love Pig and certainly will identify with his feelings towards the pesky fly. The book is inspirational and the dark feeling of frustration is woven perfectly through this relatable story. I highly recommend this book and would suggest it be included in classrooms and school libraries." —Storywraps
