Description
The wolf from THE THREE LITTLE PIGS shows up at a party attended by lots of piggies, but his plans for dinner are disrupted by the pigs from "This Little Piggy Went to Market."
Quick Summary
Imagine the wolf from "The Three Little Pigs" barging into a party full of piggies, and you'll see why this counting adventure feels like a playful mash-up of two classic nursery rhymes. The story counts down from twenty as each piggy does something goofy dancing, wearing a top hat, or playing a tune while the wolf tries (and hilariously fails) to turn them into dinner, giving the countdown a sense of gentle suspense that never gets too scary. It's a hit with kids who love humor, animals, and a little bit of mischief, and the simple math concept slips in naturally as they hear the numbers over and over. Parents will appreciate that the bright, cartoony pictures keep everything light-hearted, and the wolf's presence adds just enough edge for a few giggles without worrying any little ones. If your child enjoys silly mash-ups like "The Bad Guys" or other counting books that pack a joke, they'll probably ask to read this one again and again.
