| | | A hilarious retelling of the traditional story. It's time for the three little wolves to go out on their own, so off they go to build themselves a sturdy brick house. They hadn't reckoned on a big bad pig with a sledgehammer! Oxenbury's enchanting watercolor illustrations, full of delightful details, will entertain all ages.
Annotation:
A humorous retelling of the story of the "Three Little Pigs." In this version, three young wolves are the innocent victims of a nasty pig who destroys first their brick house, then one made of stone, and finally one of steel. Will the wolves find a way to outwit the pig? Watercolor illustrations accompany the text.
