But luckily it didn't cause any damage. "But the pig wasn't called big and bad for nothing." And he got a sledgehammer and knocked the house down. The wolves escaped and decided to build an even stronger house. They see a beaver with some concrete and they borrow some concrete from him to build their new and improved house. But then the pig came along again and this time he used a pneumatic drill to smash the house. Once again the wolves escape and see a rhinoceros with chains, sheet metal, padlocks, and all manner of heavy metal. They borrow some supplies from the rhinoceros and build an even stronger house. But the pig returned and blew up the house with dynamite. The wolves escape once again and decide that they need to try something different. Just then they see a flamingo with a wheelbarrow full of flowers. So the wolves decide to build their new home out of flowers. But this time when the pig came he took a deep breath to blow down the house and smelled the wonderful smell of all the flowers and started dancing. The pig had lost his big and bad disposition and became friends with the three little wolves.
Reaction: I found this book really fun. It is a fun twist on the original story. It was just a really fun read.
Recommendation: I would recommend this book to younger audiences to teach about friendship.
Problems: The pig is quite mean and there is one place where there is a bomb.
