and the Big Bad Pig
The Three Little Wolves and The Big Bad Pig is a new musical based on the popular book of the same title by Eugene Trivizas. When it comes time for the three little wolves to go out into the world and build themselves a house, their mother warns them to beware the big bad pig. But the little wolves' increasingly sturdy dwellings are no match for the persistent poker, who has more up his sleeve than huffing and puffing. It takes a chance encounter with a flamingo pushing a wheelbarrow full of flowers to provide a surprising and satisfying solution to the little wolves' housing crisis.
Trivizas' picture book "The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig", became an international best seller after his adaptation of the classical fairy tale had lain around on his desk for years, because no publisher was willing to publish a book in which the wolf is not evil, but good. Modernized into a work as entertaining as it is profound, it has been translated into seventeen languages and has been incorporated into the Heinemann collection of the "ten best classic picture books ever pulished."
