Huff… Puff… Grind! (Science Folktales Series Book #2) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Angela Hayes

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

3 Stars

Huff…Puff…Grind! The 3 Little Pigs Get Smart is the second in the Science Folktales series by Lois Wickstrom. It is a cute Illustrated children’s fantasy story- a reimagining of the classic fairytale, The Three Little Pigs, with a bit of a twist.
The story encourages problem solving, kindness, negotiation, bargaining, and more…
But again, I really didn’t like the style of illustrations inside the storybook. I really hoped that the internal quality of the illustrations would match the quality of the ‘new’ cover picture- but the internal illustrations are in a very naïve/simplistic style, which just seemed a bit ‘bland’ to me. The illustrations don’t hold your attention like the cover image does, and I felt let down because of it.

The Science Folktales Series contains (so far):
-Chicken Little (Book #1)
-Huff…Puff…Grind! The Three Little Pigs Get Smart (Book #2)
-Fee, Fi, Fo, Grow! The Real Magic of the Beans (Book #3)
-Goldilocks and the Six Simple Machines (Book #4)
-Little Red, the Detective (Book #5)
-Just One More Egg (Book #6)
-The Dwarves’ Dilemma (Book #7)
-Saving the Gingerbread House (Book #8)

There’s lots to explore in this STEM storybook series- with plenty of adventures to take, and lots of different things to learn along the way.
Looking forward to more from Ms. Wickstrom.
Happy reading…
