A topsy-turvy take on a familiar fairy tale
Three little wolves set out to build homes while keeping watch for the big bad pig. Their increasingly sturdy houses meet an unusually persistent challenge, and the story turns on an unexpected encounter involving a flamingo, flowers, and a wheelbarrow. By reversing the familiar roles of wolves and pig, Eugene Trivizas gives the traditional house-building tale a comic twist, with Helen Oxenbury’s watercolor illustrations accompanying the 32-page picture book.
