This interactive retelling of the Three Little Pigs story allows the reader to play the part of the big bad wolf. Three interior die-cut holes invite readers to huff, puff, and blow the pigs#146; houses down! This fractured fairy tale ends sweetly when, rather than blowing down the third pig#146;s brick home, the wolf/reader blows out the candles on a cake baked by the pigs! A satisfying and engaging read for every young Three Little Pigs fan. Praise for Huff & Puff "Simple but wonderfully expressive, the illustrations are ink drawings with pale washes of tan, pink, yellow, and blue. A beautifully designed and wholly engaging picture book for young children." -- Booklist "Sure to be a family favorite." -- Shelf-Awareness "A good chance for youngsters to relish enacting the wicked role while still getting a friendly reconciliation at the end." -- Kirkus Reviews "Very young readers will get a kick out of taking the wolf#146;s part, and their parents will appreciate that the scariest bits of the original tale have been omitted." -- School Library Journal "Like her repetitive text, Rueda#146;s illustrations are gently funny and elegantly simple.
" -- Horn Book "The reader is encouraged to follow the pigs into the book." -- Library Media Connection.
