The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig by Eugene Trivizas has illustrations by Helen Oxenbury, so I had to take it home from the library book sale. This is a satisfying revision of the story of the three little pigs and the big bad wolf. The first house that the three pigs build is made of brick. The big bad pig destroys it, which means Trivizas must come up with two houses more impenetrable than brick. He does. But the fourth house is the kind we wish for. The end of this story is the kind of lesson we want to teach young children.
