Huff & Puff

Children play the role of the big bad wolf in a classic fable in this “wonderfully expressive . . . beautifully designed and wholly engaging picture book.”(Booklist)

This interactive retelling of the Three Little Pigs story allows the reader to play the part of the big bad wolf. Three interior die-cut holes invite readers to huff, puff, and blow the pigs’ houses down! This fractured fairy tale ends sweetly when, rather than blowing down the third pig’s brick home, the wolf/reader blows out the candles on a cake baked by the pigs! A satisfying and engaging read for every young Three Little Pigs fan.

“A good chance for youngsters to relish enacting the wicked role while still getting a friendly reconciliation at the end.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Very young readers will get a kick out of taking the wolf’s part, and their parents will appreciate that the scariest bits of the original tale have been omitted.” —School Library Journal
