The Three Little Superpigs by Claire Evans begins where the Three Little Pigs classic fairy tale ends. The Big Bad Wolf has been put in prison to serve his time and Fairyland has promoted the swine siblings to superhero status. While the Pigs are fighting crime and enjoying their new found fame, the Big Bad Wolf stews in “Happily Never After Prison” plotting his revenge. The unexpected escape of the canine criminal throws Fairyland into a fear-filled frenzy. Will the Superpigs be able to capture the Big Bad Wolf and retain their “superhero” status?

The silly circumstances that follow will cause the reader to laugh-out-loud while learning the importance of hard work and ingenuity.

With Clare Evans’ vibrant, action-packed illustrations, witty wording, and engaging storyline, The Three Little Superpigs is sure to become a new favorite. The flavor of the overall book is reminiscent of authors Jon Sciezka and Rob Scotton. The content is best suited for a target audience of ages 4 to 7 years of age and would enhance any early-elementary picture book collection.
