Publisher's Synopsis
Three porcine siblings, each guided by a distinct philosophy of work and foresight, set out to construct homes of their own-one of straw, one of sticks, and one of brick. Their differing choices, made with varying degrees of haste and care, are soon tested by the arrival of a cunning and unrelenting wolf. What follows is a quiet fable in which simplicity gives way to consequence, and the lasting strength of thoughtful preparation is revealed.
Though the story is familiar, this retelling invites readers to experience it anew. Through carefully considered language and lyrical cadence, the tale regains its weight-not only as a lesson in prudence, but as a reflection on independence, vulnerability, and resilience. Each sentence is crafted to honor both the dignity of young readers and the pleasure of those who read aloud to them.
Retold with literary grace by Maisie Fernbrook, The Three Little Pigs is part of the Fernbrook Tales series: classic stories, thoughtfully reimagined in elevated language for bright, curious minds.
