The Big Bad Wolf is back, and he's blowing down houses in the forest, one by one. The Three Little Pigs hatch a plan to help other animals weather the wolf's mighty lungs. They start a building company, offering strong homes built of brick, just like theirs.
Demand is high for the brick homes the Pigs build, and their business becomes a success. Now they need to figure out what they should do with their hard-earned profits.
One little Pig wants to spend away, another wants to give it away, and the third wants to save it. Based on the give-save-spend-concept, this sequel to the classic fairy tale teaches kids a safe and practical approach to managing money.
Schools don't teach basic finance, and most books about money are too confusing for younger children. An entertaining first step in any child's education, Give, Save, Spend with the Three Little Pigs is easy to read and understand.

**My thoughts**
This is a clever book taking a familiar fairy tale and turning it into something educational. The Big Bad Wolf is harassing all of the animals by blowing their houses down. The Three Little Pigs have found success with their brick house, so other animals want one also. The enterprising pigs start a business and rake in the money. But what to do with all of that extra cash? Each one has a different idea. One wants to spend it on fun things. One wants to give it away to help others. And one wants to save for a rainy day or emergencies. The best thing to do is all three!
So this is a fun way to introduce that concept to kids, about spending some, using some to help others, and saving some for when you really need it. It's a fun story and has the educational piece that will appeal to young readers. I enjoyed it.
