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: 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
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 The 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.
Helen Oxenbury's warm and witty illustrations have charmed children
and adults alike for many years. Her version of Alice in
Wonderland, published by Walker Books, won the 2001 Kate Greenaway
Award, which she first won in 1969 for The Quangle Wangle's Hat.
She has also won the Smarties Book Prize three times.

From Julia Donaldson, bestselling author of The Gruffalo, and
award-winning illustrator Yuval Zommer, comes a charming minibeast
Cinderella story. Crawling through the garden, the little Woolly
Bear Caterpillar wonders what kind of moth she will become. Bonny
and bright, stunning and smart, but not kind, the other

thing that they are sure of: Woolly Bear could never be as dramatic
and beautiful as them! But could one little caterpillar be about to
undergo a truly terrific transformation? Brilliantly written and
stunningly illustrated this engaging picture book comes complete
with a non-fiction mini book about caterpillars and moths written
by a nature specialist.
