The Three Ninja Pigs

Illustrated by Caldecott Medal winner Dan Santat, this kick-butt fractured fairy tale demonstrates that practice makes perfect. Why does this wolf believe he can come to town and blow all the houses down? These three little pigs are simply not going to take it from that bully any longer! The first starts aikido lessons – he'll make mincemeat out of that wolf! His brother learns a little jujitsu – he'll chop that guy to pieces! However, when the wolf actually appears, it turns out these two pigs are not quite ready after all. Fortunately, their sister has been training every day to master some serious karate moves that save the day. KIYA!

Corey Rosen Schwartz serves up a fun combination of smart-aleck dialogue and tongue-in-cheek rhymes that'll have kids howling, and rising star Dan Santat's spunky illustrations are sure to pack a punch! Be sure to look for just-as-clever companion books Ninja Red Riding Hood and Hensel & Gretel: Ninja Chicks!
