Three Little Wolves And The Big Bad Pig Paperback / softback
by Eugene Trivizas
Illustrated by Helen Oxenbury
Paperback / softback
Description
A subversive and hilarious spin on the well-loved fairy tale. The three little wolves erect first a solid brick house.
The big bad pig comes along and when huffing and puffing fails to work, he uses a sledgehammer to bring the house down.
Next they build a home of concrete: The pig demolishes it with his pneumatic drill.
The three little wolves choose an even stronger design next time round: They erect a house, made of steel, barbed wire, armor plates and video entry system, but the pig finds a way to demolish it too.
It is only when the wolves construct a rather fragile house made of cherry blossoms, daffodils, pink roses, and marigolds that the pig has a change of heart … A great read for children who enjoyed The Wolf's Story by Toby Forward.
Kids aged 5 and up will enjoy this hilarious, subversive and brilliant read aloud picture book.
