The Three Little Javelinas

Once upon a time, way out in the desert, there were three little javelinas. Javelinas (ha-ve-LEE-nas) are wild, hairy, southwestern cousins of pigs.....

No matter where I go, if I find a bookstore I have to check it out. That is how I came across this delightful retelling of the Three Little Pigs. My family had taken a vacation to the Big Bend National Park in Texas and I found this book in one of the souvenir shops at the park. I was immediately captivated by the artwork and the use of javelinas instead of regular pigs and a coyote instead of a wolf. The story is very cutemuch more entertaining than the old standby original. I think every Texan will find this version of the little pigs to very satisfying!
