The Three Little Green Pigs, Llc: a Recycling Pig Tale Richard Oldenburg

The Three Little Pigs go green in the updated children's book The Three Little Green Pigs, LLC: A Recycling Pig Tale. The descendants of the original Three Little Pigs are now in the construction business building green homes out of recyclable materials. A contest pits the pigs against one another and the winner will be able to build his home throughout the town. Using different recyclable materials, the winning pig must satisfy the city inspector (a descendant of the Big Bad Wolf!). The story ends with the wolf purchasing an ecological home that has several modern changes, and the winning pig hiring his two cousins. This is one home that no one can huff and puff and blow the house down! Richard Oldenburg is an avid storyteller and volunteers monthly to read to children at libraries and schools in Bear Valley Springs, California. He promotes the "art of imagination" through his storytelling. One evening while discussing old folk and fairy tales with his wife, a thought was planted. Could an old fairytale be brought up to date? The result is this book, now dedicated to his wife of 28 years. A graduate of California State University, Long Beach with a BA and MA in education, the author enjoyed 32 years of teaching and working with staffs throughout California. He now enjoys retirement, his grandchildren, and working with veteran organizations as a bugler. Publisher's website: http://sbpra.com/RichardOldenburg
