Product Description
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2–While the piggies in the original nursery rhyme number only five, this tale does not end with the unfortunate one who went wee, wee, wee/all the way home. Instead, the imaginative Harris duo envision a new, fun-filled scene and delight readers with the news that Fifth little piggy went,/'We, we, we…/We STILL aren't done!' The premise of this rhyming counting book is that 20 pigs have been invited to a picnic. Using all modes of transportation, the porcine guests arrive bearing treats, talents, and paraphernalia. What they don't notice is the infamous wolf straight out of The Three Little Pigs. True to form, he craves pork chops and seems destined to have his meal-until he stops to count only 19 porkers. Greed makes him the victim of a stampede when the 20th one, who has been napping, rings the dinner bell. Hilarious color cartoon illustrations show pigs with plenty of personality, each prominently displaying a number while that same number is hidden somewhere on the spread, along with the sneaky wolf. In the spirit of Margie Palatini's Piggie Pie! (Clarion, 1995), this funny story is perfect for one-on-one and group sharing.–Gloria Koster, West School, New Canaan, CT

Great book for my two little piggies

Both of my kids (age 2 and 5) LOVE this book and want to read it practically every day. It is really cute and they love pointing out where the big bad wolf is hiding on every page. The big bad wolf is certainly a character and they find it very amusing!

The Big, Bad Wolf wants to eat all 20 piggies, but they surprise him in the end! Good book for kids learning to count beyond 10, and still high interest for my 5yr old. She likes to find where the wolf is hiding on every page.

What a fun book...

This book starts as a clever twist on the "this little piggie.." childrens rhyme and turns into a fun counting book with a humorous ending. This is a book that both kids and adults can enjoy. The illustrations are great as well and they contain some fun surprises for especially observant children. Highly recommended.
