The Three Little Pigs Count to 100

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Pistacchio. Three pig brothers making their way in the world encounter various fairy-tale characters who offer them house-building materials (a Pinocchio-like boy has six sticks, a Humpty-like egg has eight bags of leaves, etc.). This amiable counting lesson could do without the muddying introduction to cylinders, cones, and cubes, but the sleek art, featuring nostalgia-baiting Golden Book–style motifs, is sensational.
