Why I Love It
There’s a lot to love about this simple book. First, I’ve never seen the Three Little Pigs look as adorable as they do in Rueda’s pen, ink, and watercolor illustrations. Huff & Puff is a wonderful introduction to interactive books, inviting the reader to assume the part of the Wolf and blow down (or attempt to blow down) the pigs’ houses. It’s also a great example of a fractured fairy tale, with a feel-good ending perfect for the preschool set.
