I think next time I will read this book closer to Halloween. Ooops :) A cute story for that time of year. ( )

I read this book during the spring semester, and I feel like it would have been more appropriate during the fall. However, the kids LOVED it. It was an easy read that followed the Three Little Pigs fairy tale.

Great book for children! Good pictures and words!!

Dr. Smart Pig is a famous inventor, but tonight he is terribly lonely. A year ago, both of his brothers were eaten by the Big Bad Wolf, and tomorrow is Halloween. What fun trick-or-treating when you're all alone? Suddenly, Dr. Smart Pig has a brilliant idea. He'll go into his laboratory and invent a new friend — a pig who is bigger and better, and absolutely wolf-proof! But imagine his surprise when he ends up creating a monster — it's Porkenstein! As you can imagine, such a huge pig is the Big Bad Wolf's dream come true. But his super-ham-sandwich fantasy turns into a nightmare when Porkenstein proves to be the bigger eater. Dr. Pig's scientific blunders and the wild events that follow are sure to make everyone laugh — as an enormous porker hogs the show and proves that loyalty and true friendship come in all shapes, sizes, and appetites!
