About the author
Patrick Hueller lives in Minnesota with his wife and two kids. Like UniPig, he's really good at hiding. He once heard someone say that hidden things are always in the last place you look, which gave him an idea: NEVER be in the last place you look. Patrick is the author of several books for older kids, some of which have won awards with fancy stickers. This is his first picture book.

Summary
Gaze in wonder, kids and adults! Feast your eyes, superheroes and sidekicks! It’s the one, the only… UniPig!
But whatever you do, don’t agree to play Hide and Seek with him. And definitely don’t let him be the one to hide first. If you do, you’ll never find him again. After all, he’s the greatest hider you’ve ever—or should I say never—seen! (At least, that’s what UniPig will tell you.)
Patrick Hueller has written a hilarious interactive picture book about a young pig who imagines he is an extremely rare UniPig (part pig, part unicorn). Speaking directly to the reader (and at times the reader's "sidekick"), UniPig challenges anyone and everyone to try to find him in the book. Because UniPigs are so rare, and so good at hiding, no one ever sees them! Behold! It's UniPig! is a perfect read-aloud that will have kids and parents alike laughing out loud.
