About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling anxious about 'scary' things or is struggling with their own clumsiness. It is a perfect choice for transforming potential fear into belly laughs, showing that even the most intimidating situations can be defused with a little bit of silliness and a lot of luck. Preston the pig is on a mission to deliver a basket to his Granny, but he is being followed by a hungry wolf. The catch? Preston is so wonderfully oblivious and the wolf is so hilariously accident-prone that the danger never quite lands. This story cleverly mashes up classic fairy tales like Little Red Riding Hood and The Three Little Pigs, making it an ideal choice for children aged 3 to 7 who are beginning to recognize familiar story patterns and enjoy seeing them turned upside down.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book deals with the concept of a predator (the wolf) wanting to eat the protagonist, but the approach is entirely metaphorical and rooted in slapstick humor. The resolution is hopeful and focuses on the triumph of the innocent through sheer happenstance.
