The Three Little Pigs
Printed as “Maximiliano and the Three Little Pigs”, with your child’s name in place of Maximiliano.
Three little pigs set off to build their houses, and your child goes along as the builder. The straw house is quick and the stick house is quicker, but your child draws the plan for the brick one. When the wolf comes huffing and puffing, everyone ends up safe inside, and your child offers him a bowl of hot soup, with one bit of advice he doesn’t take.
In this one
- Huffing, puffing, and a house that stays up

Questions about this one
Does anyone get eaten?
No. In the old tale the wolf eats two pigs and ends up in a boiling pot. In ours, every pig gets to the brick house in time, and the wolf gulps a bowl of soup that’s far too hot and runs off to cool his tongue in the pond.
Where’s my child in the story?
Your child is the builder who helps all three pigs, draws the plan for the brick house, and thinks of the hot-soup trick. At the end the pigs give your child a little brick that says “Master Builder”.
Can siblings be in the same book?
Not yet. Each book has one child in it for now. Plenty of families order one book per child, and you get 25% off each additional book in the same order.
Can I change the dedication later?
Yes, right up until you approve the finished book. After that it goes to the printer.
