Synopsis

The wolf huffed and he puffed. But the pigs had built wolf-proof houses.
The pigs couldn’t go out. The wolf-couldn’t get in. They were all hungry.
The pigs knew that a problem can be a solution out-of-place.
Could they make good use of all that huffing and puffing?

The 3 Little Pigs have gone to architecture school and learned not only how to build wolf-proof houses, but how to think in a scientific manner. If something looks like a problem from one point of view, try looking at it differently. The problem may contain its own best solution..

Review

Midwest Book Review:  A clever new twist to a classic fairytale subject, this charmingly entertaining picture book for children ages 3-8 is especially recommended for family, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library collections.

Readers Favorite 5 star review: In this version, the three pigs are not just any old run of the mill average-minded pigs. They are highly educated pigs who know how to build strong wolf-proof houses out of sticks, hay, and bricks. The narrative style is entertaining and informative and manages to provide a plethora of inviting illustrations created by Francie Mion.

 

from Reader Kids Views:

A Note from Mom: The story was smart, and I like how it includes STEM learning through architecture. Whenever a story can incorporate different learning aspects of life in a subtle way, but so that my children will remember it, I am a fan of that.

Edwards Book Club Reviews

There are many valuable lessons in this story. And when the messaging is powerful, the effect on young minds can be priceless. Kids will learn about the importance of education, the value of team work, and the reward of compromising. The best part of this story, for me, is that kids will see that a peaceful resolution is always possible. What’s not to love about a story that can do all that?
