Award-winning author and illustrator Mark Teague tells his humorous version of "The Three Little Pigs" with a zany twist!Three pigs spend their money on different things: potato chips, sody-pop, and building supplies.

When the wolf can't blow down the third pig's brick house, everyone comes together and the fun begins. The first two pigs give him potato chips and sody-pop, and the third pig makes everyone a healthy meal. Since only one pig has a house left, the other two pigs and the wolf move in with her. The somewhat bad wolf is no longer hungry.
