Overview
An Appalachian Folktale retold by Donald Davis
In this award-winning home-grown version of "The Three Little Pigs," the villain is, naturally, a fox - the Appalachian red fox, who any local hunter will tell you is a worthy and cunning opponent.
Davis's storytelling skills make full use of the tale's inherent repetition, capturing the mountain rhythms, homestead setting, and rural wisdom of the Appalachians.
The bright watercolors depict a clever fox and capture the eastern mountain terrain that has shaped this unique version of a well-known tale. This Appalachian story about three clever pigs will teach readers the importance of courage, respect and resourcefulness.
