The 3 Little Dassies

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 & vivid blue skies are home to appealing little dassies & hungry eagles. Mimbi, Pimbi & 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 & clap until he blows a house down. But in a deliciously funny twist, that pesky eagle gets a fine comeuppance! Bold African patterns & prints fill the stunning borders, but it is the dassies in their bright, colorful dresses & hats that steal the show in this irresistible tale, perfect for reading aloud.
