- Three little pigs set out to seek their fortune. Each pig builds himself a house: one of straw, one of sticks, and one of bricks. When a hungry wolf huffs, and puffs, and blows in the houses of two little pigs, the third pig realizes that he needs more than a sturdy house of bricks to drive the wolf away. This classic battle of wits, dramatically and charmingly illustrated by Paul Galdone, is an elegant addition to any folk tale collection.
