Pigloo is an explorer. His destination? The North Pole. Big sister Paisley has doubts about Pigloo's plan, but Pigloo knows that explorers have to be patient as well as brave. When Pigloo takes his sled to the top of a hill, he sets off on his expedition--with a little unexpected help.

This sweet, expressively illustrated story shows that sometimes the greatest adventures are the ones that happen in your own backyard.

Review

"In this warmhearted winter story, Pigloo, a porcine explorer-in-training, is eager to mount an expedition to the North Pole. . . . In accessible and playful language, Pace (the Vampirina Ballerina series) builds her story around Pigloo’s independent mindedness and. . . . Hussey (Not This Bear) creates an expressive cast of pigs." ―Publishers Weekly

In spite of the adage to write what you know, Anne Marie Pace has never been a vampire, a bear, a ballerina, or a sledding pig. She is the author of a number of published and upcoming picture books, including NEVER EVER TALK TO STRANGERS and A TEACHER FOR BEAR, both published by Scholastic Book Clubs; the VAMPIRINA BALLERINA series, illustrated by LeUyen Pham, published by Disney-Hyperion, which has been adapted into the Emmy-nominated hit television series VAMPIRINA from Disney Junior; PIGLOO, illustrated by Lorna Hussey, published by Henry Holt; GROUNDHUG DAY, illustrated by Christopher Denise (Disney-Hyperion, 2017); BUSY-EYED DAY, illustrated by Frann Preston-Gannon (Beach Lane Books, 2018); SUNNY'S TOW TRUCK SAVES THE DAY (Abrams, 2019), illustrated by Christopher Lee; and MOUSE CALLS (Beach Lane Books, 2022), illustrated by Erin Kraan.. Someday, she hopes to write books about what she does know: whistling, baking blue-ribbon-winning chocolate chip cookies, and schlepping kids around in a minivan, if she can find a way to make any of that interesting. She lives with her family in Virginia.

4.0 out of 5 stars Simple but charming
Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2021
Verified Purchase
As a "jolly old elf," I purchase several childrens' seasonal books to read to youngsters. This one isn't bad, but it's probably not in my top ten, and doesn't get many repeat requests. It does show the imagination of a young child, and the protective love of an older sibling (but don't tell her you noticed).

Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2016
Everyone needs the encouragement PIGLOO gives. Author Anne Marie Pace wrote a story about a boy on a sled when she was in first grade, and now here the book is, many years later. What a great story within a story -- that we can become authors, with lots of practice, and perhaps also the patience PIGLOO exhibits before his great adventure. If I were a first grade teacher (or librarian or parent) I would use this book to start my writing lessons. And it's child-friendly, capturing the delight of snow or the anticipation of anything you just can't wait for. Also a story of sibling love, even if big sister doesn't seem that loving at first. Adorable illustrations that will keep you smiling throughout.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pigloo Power!
Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2016
Pigloo the pig dreams of journeying to the North Pole. But his big sister Paisley isn’t supportive—or is she?

Anne Marie Pace’s charming, witty text touches on imagination, anticipation, exploration, and sibling relations. Lorna Hussey’s illustrations are adorable and cozy. A perfect book to read while snuggling with your child on a winter’s night (or any night!). Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Two of my children's favorite things are outside exploring and watching for snow
Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2016
Two of my children's favorite things are outside exploring and watching for snow. I suspect they are not alone in this. Along comes Pigloo, which combines both of these activities in one sweet story. The humor infused text married with the absolutely adorable illustrations makes this a winter must-have book.

5.0 out of 5 stars I really enjoyed Pigloo!
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2016
I loved the clever sense of humor in the text, Pigloo’s enthusiasm, imagination and determination, the darling illustrations, how his big sister Paisley comes around and gets in on the fun herself in a kind-hearted way... This would be great story to read to children when they're bored and need some inspiration for pretend play!

Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2016
Cuddle up with mugs of hot chocolate and read this picture book to the children in your life. It will have them yearning to bundle up and dust off the old sled. This is a perfect holiday gift to delight young and old through the snowy season and beyond.
