The art behind the illustrations for The Stick & Mr. Pig: The Case of the Missing Marbles by Daniel Hobart, illustrated by Julie Heide
The Stick & Mr. Pig is a book born from the love of our pets. The three main characters in the book represent our real-life pets, dear to our hearts. The Stick, a whippet whose real name is Yoda is super fast and always great at solving mysteries in his trench coat. Mr. Pig, also know as Percy in real life is part beagle and part basset hound. He is very good at sniffing out the tracks to follow the clues. He loves wearing a detective hat and holding onto his magnifying glass. Eileen is a tiny Boston terrier. She is adorable, sweet, and snores louder than a train. She was adopted as a senior citizen but loved as much as a lifetime.
