Summary from Little Tiger Press
Three little pigs set off to build new homes for themselves. But someone
big and bad soon comes looking for a tasty piggy snack . . .
Can the pigs outwit the wicked wolf?
Nayu's thoughts
Think you know this famous fairy tale? I did, but
that didn't stop this being the best retelling I've ever read. It
should come with a laughter warning, there's humour on every page,
probably more so because I knew what was coming next and strongly
suspected there would be a happy end. The activities the pigs do to
in and out of their houses brought more laughter. I was scared for
them because the wolf was extremely mean and scary, but the ending
sorted him out and helped the pigs learn a valuable lesson of doing
all they can to protect themselves, and not be so overconfident.
