All of the piggies are working together to set up a party. Piggle heads to market, Piggums watches out for the wolf and warns everyone to hide when she comes nears the house. When she's gone, the 3rd little pig, Piggit, scurries from friend to friend delivering invitations - good thing the Owl can warn everyone that Wolf just passed by! Hopefully the party will be ready in time for the guests to get there, and everyone can avoid the Wolf. But what about the guest of honor? 

I loved the melding of "This Little Piggie" and "The Three Pigs", the suspense building was perfect for a young reader to figure out along the way, and even more fun on a re-read. Santoso's illustrations are so very cute!
