K-Gr 2—The three little pigs are ready to strike out on their own. As the siblings set out to build their individual homes in the forest, they encounter the Big Bad Wolf. As he travels by food truck from house to house, he pounds on their door with a fork, politely asking, "Little pig, little pig, may I come in?" When he hears "Not by the hair on my chinny chin chin!" his face turns red and he huffs and puffs and blows the first two structures down. The third and biggest house, made of brick, remains standing. All the pigs live happily ever after (in their own brick houses) once the wolf falls into the pot of boiling water they placed under the chimney. This is a bright, colorful retelling of the story. The digital illustrations include cozy houses, three pigs with distinct personalities (one is a girl), and a wolf who wears a chef's hat.
