Their sister, Pig Three (love that it's a girl doing martial arts), studies the art of karate for months, disciplining herself and earning each belt along the way. Pig Two develops some jujitsu skills but soon decides he's learned enough.

Pig One learns a bit of aikido but before long he becomes bored and quits. Three little pigs who've had enough of the town bully's huffing and puffing decide to take martial arts lessons in order to protect themselves. Pig Three said, “That could have been you.” The rhyming text will have everyone – even adults – rolling on the floor with laughter and rooting for those unstoppable pigs! Great illustrations with lots of action – this should appeal to boys and girls alike. Girls (and girl pigs) can kick some serious wolf butt. I loved that the third pig was all “Bring it, Wolf,” and forgive me – badass. All 3 pigs rededicate themselves to their lessons and eventually open a dojo to train others in the martial arts. The first 2 pigs are no match for the wolf when he comes, but the third pig (the girl!) impresses the wolf, who runs away rather than test himself against her. The first little pig dabbles in Aikido, the second little pig takes Jujitsu (but only masters the basics), and the third little pig becomes a dedicated practitioner of Karate (advancing through all of the belts and practicing regularly). A retelling of the Three Little Pigs, these 3 pigs decide to go on the offensive and prepare themselves for a wolf attack by taking classes in martial arts. This book gets points for being an excellent (and funny) story that actually uses rhyme to good effect (unlike a lot of the picture books I’ve been reading lately).
