What is The Wibbly Pig series by Mick Inkpen about?

Created by Mick Inkpen in the mid-1990s and developed across more than two decades, the Wibbly Pig series follows a cheerful, mischievous little pig through familiar childhood experiences. Early board books focus on simple play, favourite foods, making things, pictures and feelings, often inviting young listeners to join in. Later stories broaden Wibbly’s world to include bedtime, Christmas, friends, toys, pets, the zoo and gentle everyday surprises. With short texts, repetition and clear, expressive illustrations, the books suit pre-school children, particularly those enjoying interactive read-alouds and stories about ordinary routines. There are no significant content concerns, though some books include mild frustration, lost toys, bedtime resistance or momentary apprehension.
