description: the La Brea tar pits outsmart a carnivorous T-Rex in this wry adaptation of The Three Little Pigs that not only entertains children but also teaches them that sometimes a bully will get his comeuppance. Sent out on their own into the thick steamy jungle the three brachiosaur brothers soon learn to heed their mother's warning about the Rex. He's so hungry that his mouth is watering As he rampages from one brother's house to the next he shows that while he might be big and mean this bully is not particularly smart. He keeps calling the brachiosaurs pigs This really infuriates the brothers but what makes them even angrier is that they are being hunted just because they are small. What's even smaller however is the Rex's brain. It takes him years to figure out how to break into the stone house that the brothers have taken refuge in. When the stubborn hungry Rex finally does manage to destroy the house he is shocked to learn what bullies so often discover: that little dinosaurs (or little boys and girls) grow up to be big . . . sometimes VERY big
