Three little pigs who have built their houses of pili grass, driftwood, and lava rock are threatened by a very angry shark in disguise.

The Three Little Pigs with a twist! In the tradition of her bestseller The Three Snow Bears, Jan Brett finds inspiration for her version of a familiar story in Namibia, where red rock mountains and vivid blue skies are home to appealing little dassies and hungry eagles. Mimbi, Pimbi and Timbi hope to find "a place cooler, a place less crowded, a place safe from eagles!" to build their new homes. The handsomely dressed Agama Man watches from the borders as the eagle flies down to flap and clap until he blows a house down. But in a deliciously funny twist, that pesky eagle gets a fine comeuppance! Bold African patterns and prints fill the stunning borders, but it is the dassies in their bright, colorful dresses and hats that steal the show in this irresistible tale, perfect for reading aloud.

Up to his old tricks and wearing his favorite disguise. Sharkey attempts to coax 'Ula Li'i out of her basket of food in this version of Little Red Riding Hood.

Keaka trades his beloved goat for seeds from the liliko'i vine in this re-creation of Jack and the Beanstalk.
