can't go wrong. You wanna be cool? Then repeat after me: I am a
cucumber, cool as can be!" But when Kevin starts to feel like his

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
