Near Big Mamou in Southwest Louisiana, Mamre Cochon must send her three little pigs, 'Ti Joe, 'Ti Claude, and 'Ti Frre, out into the great big world to seek their fortunes. As they prepare to go their separate ways, the brothers agree to watch out for the loup-garou, who's been planning a cochon du lait for as long as they can remember. Will they be able to avoid the hungry loup-garou? Well, if any three pigs ever had le savoir-faire (the know-how) to outwit the cunning wolf, their names would have to be 'Ti Joe, 'Ti Claude, and 'Ti Frre, I gar-on-tee!

Cajun storyteller Sheila Hbert Collins brings the three little pigs into bayou country in this delightful retelling with a liberal dusting of Cajun French. Louisiana native Patrick Soper's illustrations bring all the lushness of the state's rural areas. As a little lagniappe (something extra), the author includes a special recipe for Grillades and Grits. Bon apptit!
