The Adventures of Snout the Brown-snout Pig: a Modern Fairytale Series John D. Evans

The story of the Three Little Pigs is famous, as is their victory over the Big Bad Wolf. But what if there was actually a fourth little pig who was never mentioned? Meet Snout, a brown-snout pig and the fourth sibling of the Three Little Pigs. Snout is lovable, wise, and courageous, but a series of wild adventures will put him to the test.

He leaves home to find his way in the big, scary world. He goes to a farm and meets three blind field mice with big dreams. They want to become house mice, but a mean old farmer could stand in their way if Snout doesn't step in. Snout travels even further, though; he makes it to church, to the bank, and even to far off Hollywood!

The Adventures of Snout the Brown-Snout Pig is a four-volume, sixteen-story collection of modern fairytales. Through these stories, children learn that nonviolence can be powerful, that strength does not lie in brute force, and that good can triumph over evil. Snout learns, too, as he grows from a little piggy into an adult pig, thanks to his many brave quests and colorful friends.
