This is the CUTEST book ever! My husband's famous version of THE THREE PIGS has been a favorite of our grandchildren until this version came along. It was perfect, especially since we live in Arizona. We LOVE the Southwestern twist on this famous children's story.

I went right out and bought another book by the same author and illustrator. WONDERFUL!
