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.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy humorous picture books
  • Families looking for a playful variation on a familiar fairy tale
  • Young readers interested in stories about building and problem-solving

Book overview

When it comes time for the three little wolves to go out into the world and build themselves a house, their mother warns them to beware the big bad pig. But the little wolves' increasingly sturdy dwellings are no match for the persistent porker, who has more up his sleeve than huffing and puffing. It takes a chance encounter with a flamingo pushing a wheelbarrow full of flowers to provide a surprising and satisfying solution to the little wolves' housing crisis.
Eugene Trivizas's hilarious text and Helen Oxenbury's enchanting watercolors have made this delightfully skewed version of the traditional tale a contemporary classic.
