Award-winning master etcher Arthur Geisert is back with the second installment in his trilogy about Clayton County, Iowa, which began with Pumpkin Island. A twist on the classic story of the big bad wolf and the three little pigs, Geisert's version re-imagines the pigs as considerably more resourceful, thanks to their mother's forewarning to be prepared for what the world has in store. Despite the wolf's best attempts to blow each pig's house down, some clever engineering and architecture foil his plans. Created with his signature style of etching and hand-coloring, the intricate illustrations create a world for inquisitive young readers to get lost in, finding new details to return to with each re-reading.

They touch on that which is common to man: his strengths and weaknesses; his courage and fears, his attitude and values. As I pass through, I see things that create a stir in my breast, ignite a spark within. Perhaps it's the same with you. Maybe I write of that which is muted in your heart sing the song unsung give sound to the silence.
