THE AWARD-WINNING CLASSIC IN POP-UP

We're going on a bear hunt.

We're going to catch a big one.

Will you come too?

For years readers have been swishy swashing and splash sploshing through this award-winning favorite. Now fans of the original classic can join in all the fun of the bear hunt with this incredible collectible edition featuring pop-ups, flaps to lift, tabs to pull, and sound effects!

When it comes time for the three little wolves to go out into the world and build themselves a house, their mother warns them to beware the big bad pig. But the little wolves' increasingly sturdy dwellings are no match for the persistent porker, who has more up his sleeve than huffing and puffing. It takes a chance encounter with a flamingo pushing a wheelbarrow full of flowers to provide a surprising and satisfying solution to the little wolves' housing crisis.
Eugene Trivizas's hilarious text and Helen Oxenbury's enchanting watercolors have made this delightfully skewed version of the traditional tale a contemporary classic.

Critics cheered when Tom and his toy monkey Pippo made their picture-book debut. Publishers Weekly called the books "right on target for this age and sure to captivate". Now in a sturdy board book format, the gentle adventures of this favorite pair can be enjoyed by even the youngest readers.
