Illustration elements take Guarnaccia’s thoroughly modern retelling to an entirely new level—one in which three pigs live surrounded by, and in, masterpieces of design. They live together in a version of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater House, sit on Frank Gehry chairs, and even have a garden greenhouse shaped like I. M. Pei’s Louvre pyramid. These are three little piggies with an eye for design! The endpapers provide illustrations of all of the architectural and industrial designs featured throughout the book, accompanied by labels providing the names of the pieces, their designers, countries of origin, and date of design . lvb

"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.
