The Pig Who Went Home On Sunday is a picturebook rendition of an Appalachian folktale that adds a home-grown twist to the well-known story of "Three Little Pigs" - only the villain is a wiley and cunning Appalachian red fox. Vibrant watercolors and simple words bring to life a battle of wits between fox and pig, with dinner for the fox and survival for the pig at stake! An amusing and delightful storybook to share, Jennifer Mazzucco's artwork meshes perfectly with Donald Davis' deftly scripted text.
