Publisher's Synopsis
Never underestimate the power of compassion! When gentle-hearted Engelbert first encounters Agnes and Cornelius Wolf--two of three notoriously naughty wolf pups--they're busy making life miserable for all the woodland animals. Recently kicked out of Mama Wolf's house, Agnes has built a new home in a field of mortified mice, while Cornelius has staked a claim near a stream full of seriously stressed-out fish. As Engelbert watches Agnes pummel a smelly punching bag and Cornelius traumatize trout, he's reminded of another big bad wolf...one who many years before had tried to EAT his brothers after blowing down their houses. Compelled to help bring peace to the forest, the wise, little changemaker comes up with a brilliant idea. But, can the animals learn to put aside their obvious differences and sorted past? If so, the awesome power of compassion will not only help these previously "bad" wolves unlock their true potential--it will unify the entire animal kingdom as never before.
Written by award-winning author Laura Lee Scott and illustrator Cheryl Crouthamel, ONE LITTLE PIG is a delightfully charming, imaginative, visual feast of a story that speaks straight to the heart. Based loosely on THE THREE LITTLE PIGS, this reinvented, freshly-spun fairy tale offers readers of all ages countless reasons to smile, wonder, and feel inspired by the knowledge that everyone--even the smallest and seemingly "least" amongst us--can make a truly beautiful difference. In addition to ONE LITTLE PIG's empowering theme and engaging storyline, every richly-detailed illustration includes a friendly caterpillar for young readers to find.
