About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is starting to navigate the complexities of social reputations and the realization that people (or wolves) aren't always what they seem. It is a perfect choice for a child who feels anxious about 'scary' strangers or who struggles with the idea that someone they were told to dislike might actually be a friend. This story offers a gentle, humorous way to talk about looking past stereotypes and finding common ground through shared activities like cooking. The story follows three pigs who are prepared for a traditional showdown with a wolf, only to discover that this particular wolf is more interested in learning how to bake a delicious pie than huffing and puffing. It is a lighthearted chapter book that maintains a sense of play while subtly exploring themes of empathy and loneliness. Parents will appreciate the way it subverts classic fairy tale tropes to teach a lesson about openness and the courage it takes to invite an 'enemy' to dinner.
