Description
While his hardworking brothers carefully secure their houses against the Big Bad Wolf, fun-loving Ziggy --- the hitherto unknown fourth little pig --- decides to go to the beach. The traditional tale takes a twist when to everyone's surprise the Wolf blows in the brick house. The three brothers run for their lives to Ziggy, whose resourcefulness takes the Wolf by surprise and saves the day. This refreshing spin on the classic tale shows how quick thinking can offer more protection than even the strongest brick walls.
