What Kind of Book is Wolf Won't Bite!
Reviews
The three little pigs and the big bad wolf go to the circus. In hand-lettered text and frolicking illustrations that make clever use of the white space, the pigs relentlessly taunt the wolf. They are overbold, but whom are they trying to convince? This is a delightful take on the classic pigs v. wolf tale.

The Creative Behind the Book
Emily Gravett was born in Brighton, England, the second daughter of a printmaker and an art teacher. She left school at 16 and travelled the UK for eight years, living in a big green bus with her partner and their daughter. After returning to Brighton to take up an art degree, Emily sprang into the limelight with the ground-breaking Wolves in 2005, which won her the Macmillan Prize for Illustration, followed by a book deal and the first of her Kate Greenaway Medals. Wolves was followed by such brilliant modern classics as Orange Pear Apple Bear, Little Mouse’s Big Book of Fears, Again! and the exquisite Tidy. Each book is unique and different from the last – and each features endearing, beautifully drawn characters that touch the heart and tickle the funny bone. Emily now lives in Brighton with her family. When not working in her studio, she might be found walking the dog, watering the tomatoes or driving the family’s restored 1960s bus.
