"Once upon a time, there were three cuddly little wolves with soft fur and fluffy tails who lived with their mother..."It was time for the three little wolves to go out into the world, so off they went and built themselves a splendid brick house.

But that didn't stop the big bad pig, who made short work of it with a pneumatic drill. Even a house made of armor plates could not protect them. It was only a chance encounter with a flamingo bird that solved their dilemma in an entirely unexpected and satisfactory way.(1938–) enchanting watercolor illustrations, full of humorous details and visual excitement, are the perfect accompaniment to this hilarious retelling-in-reverse of the traditional tale, so eloquently written by .
