Author Elisa Mazzoli retells the classic story with humour, and a wink to the reader. The first little pig builds his house with hay, the second one with sprigs and the last one, wiser and cleverer than his brothers, with bricks. When the most terrible wolf of the world tries to destroy their houses, he doesn’t have any problem with the first two of them, but he can’t destroy the house of the last little pig. The wolf will pay his greediness, but only after a series of hilarious attempts at breaking in.
