Synopses & Reviews
Whenever theres trouble on Detective Doggedlys beat, that low-down, no-good, chicken-chasing, pig-poaching Big Bad Wolf is always the prime suspect. But when the three little pigs house is huffed and puffed into a pile of straw and only a sheep named Esmeralda is found at the scene of the crime, Doggedly has a new mystery to solve: Wheres the Big Bad Wolf?
With the help of some wise elderly cows who live in a home across the road, Doggedly sniffs out the clues. But can he catch the culprit before the three little pigs get gobbled up? Heres a new wrinkle on the classic tale, enlivened by Eileen Christelows fast-paced narrative style and her drolly comic illustrations.
