Bookroo's summary

Three little pigs are under siege by a cunning, rhyme-loving wolf who outsmarts their every attempt to build a safe home. As they experiment with different materials, the wolf's STEM skills keep them on their toes. Can they outwit this relentless foe, or will the wolf's cleverness prevail? Dive into this playful twist on a classic tale, where physics and fairy tales collide, and discover if the pigs can find a solution to their wolf problem.

From the publisher

What’s the matter with the three little pigs? They’re being tormented by a hungry wolf! And no matter what kind of matter they use to build their homes, it doesn’t matter. The STEM-savvy, rhyme-loving wolf in this fractured fairy tale always seems to spoil the day. A glossary and critical thinking questions support the story’s physics content.
