Bookroo's summary

A big bad wolf targets the three chicken sisters, expecting an easy meal. But these quirky neighbors, with their knitting, baking, and singing, prove more than he bargained for. As his plans unravel, the wolf finds himself outwitted and fleeing back to his mother. Can the sisters' eccentric charm really save the day, or will the wolf return with a new scheme? Discover how this unlikely trio turns the tables in a tale of unexpected heroism and humor.

From the publisher

When the big bad wolf moves into town, he thinks the three chicken sisters next door will be easy prey. But his tactics backfire when he comes face-to-face with the eccentric threesome, who knit, bake, and sing him to distraction, sending him running home to his mother.
