The Three Swingin' Pigs

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Rhode Montijo. Satch, Mo, and Ella (whose uncles are the Three Pigs) compose the Three Swingin' Pigs jazz trio. Big Bad Wolfie pursues them but instead discovers a love of music and joins the band. In a text accompanied by quirky, angular acrylic illustrations, the improvisational rhythm is appropriate to the jazzy theme but makes the story hard to follow, and the hepcat wordplay is overdone.
