Synopsis: (from the publisher) Everyone knows the story of the three little pigs, but now you're going to meet the three little javelinas--lovable, wild, southwestern cousins of pigs--as they try to outsmart the coyote who had hoped to eat them with red chile sauce.

Craft ideas:

• Bring popsicle sticks and build another house for the Javelinas.
• Draw a scrapbook of the Javelinas' adventures, with drawn pictures, pieces of the houses, etc.
• Make Javelina noses and headbands.
