My Lucky Day

Keiko Kasza (2003), 30 pages

Audience: Toddlers, Pre-K to 2^nd grade

Format: picture book

A hilarious twist on the traditional fairytale of Three Little Pigs, Kasza updates and creates a playful new story for both kids and parents. What kind of twist? Well, this time the piglet is in charge and the fox is left scrambling and exhausted especially after he is tricked into cleaning, feeding, and massaging his future roast pig. With colorful and emotive illustrations—even your toddlers will understand the plot! A very clever book, in the end children will roll with laughter and parents will smile as this smart, witty pig enjoys his lucky day.
