Huff… Puff… Grind! (Science Folktales) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

Huff…Puff…Grind! The 3 Little Pigs Get Smart: a science folktale by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Huff…Puff…Grind! The Three Little Pigs Get Smart is a bit of a twist on the classic fairytale, The Three Little Pigs. The Three Little Pigs, Stella, Hal, and Brad have all built what they feel are sturdy homes after having studied architecture in school. When the big bad wolf comes huffing and puffing at each of their doors, he finds their homes will not fall. Stella, Hal, and Brad get together and try to find another use for all the big bad wolf’s hot air. Rather than have the big bad wolf be an enemy they make a deal with him and turn him into an ally. This was a cute and imaginative retelling of the classic that teaches children about kindness, friendship, working together, and problem solving.
