Overview of book:
Another variation on a familiar tale. Three ‘very gentle’ wolf siblings do their best to save their homes from a mean old pig. The pig is deliberately set upon destroying every home they build. To no avail each home becomes more of a fortress then the last. After rebuilding countless of times the wolves make their final house of flowers. The mean pig approached the heavenly scented home and his heart was softened and they all “lived happily every after”.
Highly recommended/Recommended/Not Recommended:
Not recommended: The only aspect I favored were the water color illustrations. I found this tale to be cute, but sadly uninteresting.
