Skip School, Fly to Space: A Pearls Before Swine Collection
Hokey lessons and ancient textbooks are no match for a good Rockitt Shipp, kids. The poorly behaved cast of Pearls Before Swine invites you to a magical world filled with silly talking animals and mostly bald humans.
There's Rat, a master of evil. Pig, who seems to be made to suffer--it's his lot in life. And while the braindead Crocs unsuccessfully hunt poor Zebra, the wise (and noted loser) Goat looks on in disapproving horror.
So take a homework break and prep the hyperdrive for light speed. It's another hilarious Pearls kids collection.
Perfect for Middle Grade Readers
This hardcover collection brings together the beloved characters from Stephan Pastis's award-winning comic strip in a format designed specifically for young readers. The illustrated pages combine visual storytelling with accessible humor that resonates with children ages 9-12.
Engaging Content for Reluctant Readers

Characters Kids Love
Rat's sarcastic wit, Pig's innocent optimism, and the hilariously incompetent Crocs create a cast that appeals to elementary and middle school humor. The animal characters tackle everyday situations with absurd logic that mirrors how kids see the world around them.
