Bookroo's summary
In a twist on the classic tale, four little pigs—Alan the builder, Alfred the actor, Alvin the pumpkin dreamer, and Alison the creative—team up to reshape their story. As they negotiate with the narrator for a more exciting version, complete with jetpacks, they must also outsmart a lurking wolf. Will their new narrative take flight, or will the wolf have the final say? Discover the unexpected in this playful retelling.
From the publisher
Meet the three (ahem–four!) little pigs as they convince the narrator to tell a slightly different version of their fairy tale: First, there’s Alan, the one pig in the bunch who is actually a builder. He’s got a BIG problem with building a home out of flimsy straw. Next, there’s Alfred, who wants to be an actor and wouldn’t dream of getting his hands dirty. Then we have Alvin, whose dream is to be…a pumpkin. Last but not least is Alison, the fourth pig, who is ready to bring some flair to this story–if only she can get the narrator to agree to a few changes…And what about that wolf? Grab your jetpacks and get ready for this rollicking retelling of the popular tale.
