"Open up, Pork Chop! Or I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll flatten this dump!"Three little pigs are happily working away in their delicious family business -- making the best-tasting waffles in the world. Business is so good, in fact, that the three siblings can live comfortably in their very own homes -- Percy in his straw bungalow, Pete in his log cabin, and Prudence in her brick cottage. Then Tempesto, the meanest wolf on the block, shows up and wants more than waffles for breakfast -- he wants the three little pigs! Here is a zany retelling of a classic folktale from master storyteller Steven Kellogg.

Everything You Need
You'd better not tickle the pig... because it just might oink if
you do! Babies and toddlers won't be able to resist pressing the
soft touchy-feely patches to hear the different farm animals in
this delightful novelty book. After the pig, cow, sheep and horse
have been tickled, they all join in at the end, making their noises
along with a hilarious rendition of the Old Macdonald Had a Farm
tune.
Parents Magazine Parents (R) Approved! A stuffed-up cow, a rogue
bedsheet, and a chantable silly refrain. A quintessential
read-aloud for a lively story time, now available in board book
format. Poor cow woke up with such a bad cold that every "moo"
comes out as "boo!" When she stumbles into a sheet hanging from the
clothesline, her barnyard friends mistake her for a spooky ghost
and run away. But the cow is able to bravely turn this
misunderstanding to her advantage when a truly scary intruder
arrives at the farm. . . In The Cow Said BOO!, author Lana Button
delivers a silly read-aloud for a not-so-spooky Halloween, or any
time of the year. Written in playful rhyme that will shine at an
interactive story time, the text includes a repeated refrain that
will have listeners chiming in with many an exuberant, "The cow
said, BOO!" Watercolor illustrations by Alice Carter catch both the
eye and the heart with their humor and energy. Closing scenes of
the animal friends nursing the cow back to health bring a tender
lull to riotous story time-until a final twist dissolves the peace
in giggles once again. Don't miss the closing spread with
illustrated hand- (and paw!) washing instructions for chasing away
colds.
