Description

A subversive and hilarious spin on the well-loved fairy tale.

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, but the pig demolishes it with his pneumatic drill. The three little wolves choose an even stronger design next time around: They erect a house made of steel, barbed wire, armour plates, and a 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 has a change of heart...

A great read for children who enjoyed The Wolf's Story by Toby Forward. Kids aged 5 and up will enjoy this hilarious, subversive, and brilliant read-aloud picture book. Eugene Trivizas’s text for Three Little Wolves and The Big Bad Pig is perfectly complemented by Helen Oxenbury’s watercolour illustrations.

Eugene Trivizas has written over 100 books and is the winner of more than twenty national and international prizes and awards. His work has been adapted for stage, screen, and radio.
