I just love this alternate telling of The Three Little Pigs. Mason and his brothers are finally old enough to be on their own, and they set off to make their own lives. Mason has ordered sturdy material to make his house, but his brothers are living in homes made of straw and sticks, respectively. What is up with the gray hair and empty wrappers in their homes? This is such a sweet story told from the point of view of Mason, the responsible one, in his diary. Kids can learn how to write in their own diaries, too. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this.

Mama pig says it's time for the three little pigs to be on their own. Mason, the third little pig is known as Mr Fix-it because he does all the work. He has a secret, though. He is tired of always being the one to do everything. Mama tells him to not worry about his brothers and to have faith in them. As the three go out into the world, Mason and his brothers learn some valuable lessons.
This is a cute version of the three little pigs story. Early chapter book readers will find it a fun and entertaining read.
The illustrations are charming and humorous and add to the enjoyment of the story.
