Items related to The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig
Synopsis
The classic story is given a few twists, as the three little wolves have to contend with the treacherous big bad pig. The three little wolves erect first a solid brick house. The big bad pig comes along and when huffing and puffing fails to work, he uses a sledgehammer to bring the house down. Next they build a home of concrete: The pig demolishes it with his pneumatic drill. The three little wolves choose an even stronger design next time round: They erect a house, made of steel, barbed wire, armor plates and video entry system, but the pig finds a way to demolish it too. It is only when the wolves construct a rather fragile house made of cherry blossoms, daffodils, pink roses, and marigolds that the pig pauses to smell the lovely scent, has a change of heart, undergoes a radical transformation, and becomes a big good pig. The wolves invite the pig inside the house and the story ends with a party with strawberries and wolfberies.

From the Publisher
It was time for the Three Little Wolves to go out into the world, so they set off and built themselves a splendid brick house. But they hadn’t figured that the Big Bad Pig would come along... Translated into 15 languages, and with more than 500,000 copies sold, this hilarious retelling of the three little pigs became the talk of the children’s book world when published in 1993. Among its many awards were BOOKLIST’s Editors’ Choice, SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL’s Best Books of the Year, American Library Association Notable Book, nominations for the Arizona, Indiana, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee State book awards, and the list goes on.
Eugene Trivizas is one of Greece’s foremost writers for children. Helen Oxenbury, one of the world’s best–loved illustrators, is a two–time winner of the prestigious Kate Greenaway award for illustration, most recently for her retelling of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
