An excitable group of little piggies scurry to prepare for a party in this twist on a favorite fairytale—but shhh! Don’t tell Wolf!

There’s so much for little piggies to do before their party: They have to bake the cake, they have to decorate the house, they have to deliver the invitations, and—most importantly—they have to watch out for Wolf! With clever nods to well-known fairytales and nursery rhymes, this picture book takes the classic Three Little Pigs story in a new direction, celebrating everything from friendship to great party planning.

"Children will enjoy the characters and the twist at the end of this fun read-aloud."
School Library Journal
"Santoso's colorful, soft-edged cartoon illustrations are pleasing."
Kirkus Reviews
"A gently subversive plot twist ends this story with [spoiler redacted], providing a funny resolution to the genuine suspense conjured by Santoso's richly colored, cartoonish illustrations of adorable little pigs in various states of wide-eyed panic."
