Why This Book Is Special:
The Ultimate Twist: Eugene Trivizas takes the classic fairy tale we all know (with the three little pigs) and literally turns it upside down, creating a story full of surprises.
Clever Humor: This is a fairy tale that will make both children and adults laugh with its ingenious ideas and the funny turn the story takes.
Important Message: In a uniquely entertaining way, the book affirms that raw violence and destruction are never the answer.
International Success: This is not just any book. It even reached the second place on the best sellers list of children's books in America (Picture Books) when it was released!
Magical Illustration: The multi-award-winning Helen Oxenbury, illustrator of the famous "We're Going on a Bear Hunt," brings the characters to life with her unique, warm, and expressive style.
A high-quality 40-page book with a hardcover, built to last through time and countless readings.
With the book you can:
-
Discuss: Why was the pig "bad"? What could the little wolves have done differently? Why wasn't the house made of flowers actually a bad idea?
-
Ask the child: "What is the difference between this fairy tale and the one with the little pigs?", "What material would you use to build a house that can't be knocked down no matter what?"
-
Play/Create: Draw the big bad pig and the three little wolves. Try making small houses out of different materials (e.g. LEGO bricks, paper, twigs) and see which one withstands blowing the best!
