Author and illustrator reimagine the tale of the three little pigs in a way that is certain to appeal to today’s young readers. Our three heroes endeavouring to build a safe, comfy house are not pigs but pugs, represented in photographs, digitally tweaked to dress them cute bows and neckerchiefs. The wolf here is a big bad cat, pretty as a picture but with sharp scratchy claws and mean moggy eyes. She’s handy with a hairdryer – useful for blowing down the straw house – and with a leaf blower, that destroys the stick house, but she gets her comeuppance in a surprise ending. The pugs are as adorable as pugs always are, and the whole thing bubbles with energy and humour. ~ Andrea Reece
