Bookroo's summary

Preston the pig is blissfully unaware of the danger lurking behind him—a cunning wolf eager for a meal. Yet, each time the wolf closes in, Preston's unexpected moves leave the predator baffled. Will the wolf ever catch his elusive prey, or will Preston's unwitting antics continue to save the day? Dive into this delightful tale of suspense and humor, where every twist keeps you guessing and laughing.

From the publisher

A large, toothy, mean-looking wolf zealously stalks Preston the pig. But each time the wolf gets close, Preston suddenly changes course and unknowingly eludes his pursuer. Colin McNaughton’s humorous illustrations enhance the element of surprise each time Preston “outsmarts” the wolf. Young readers will laugh with delight as this suspenseful tale unfolds. “Zany fun that’s perfect for young audiences.”–School Library Journal
