'Tre Porcellini' is Italian for The Three Little Pigs, and the Italian author, Roberto Piumini, has given us a new version of these three little pigs. This is a similar version of the three little pigs we remember from our childhood and reading to our children and grandchildren.In a little village, a family of pigs lived quite happily until one day the mother pig realized that too many little pigs were born every year. There were too many to take care of, and she bid the three eldest, Pombo, Golli, and Fonfon goodbye. She sent them out into the world to find their way and to discover new adventures. They were not afraid, but they were a little anxious. You will be entertained as you read about their adventures.Roberto Piumini, a well known Italian author has written a lively story of Tre Porcellini. Children and adults will be entertained, and it opens the way for many discussions about the lessons learned. Nicolette Costa, has provided brilliant, vivid and colorful illustrations of these three little pigs and their adventures. They are exactly as I would have pictured. My granddaughter liked the story a lot, and we discussed how the three little pigs worked together to fulfill their dream. Note: this book was given to me to read and review.Recommended. prisrob 01-31-14
