The Great Gran Plan cover

This charming tale presents a humorous twist on classic fairy tales, as a brave pig sets out to rescue his grandmother from a hungry wolf. The Great Gran Plan offers adventure and fun.

In The Great Gran Plan, readers are treated to a delightful and humorous twist on two beloved fairy tales: Little Red Riding Hood and The Three Little Pigs. The story introduces us to a clever little pig who lives in a sturdy brick house nestled within the wild wood. However, lurking nearby is the infamous Big Bad Wolf, who is determined to satisfy his hunger with a piggy snack. When the wolf realizes that blowing down the brick house isn't an option, he hatches a new plan that involves capturing Red Riding Hood's unsuspecting grandmother instead.

As the plot unfolds, the pig learns of the wolf's wicked scheme and decides to take matters into his own hooves. With bravery and quick thinking, he sets off on a mission to rescue Gran from the clutches of the cunning wolf. The narrative is filled with whimsical illustrations by the talented Steven Lenton, which complement Elli Woollard's witty storytelling. Their collaboration brings the characters to life, making the adventure both engaging and visually appealing.

The Great Gran Plan is not just a tale of good versus evil; it also highlights themes of courage, friendship, and the importance of family. Readers of all ages will enjoy the playful reimagining of these classic stories, as they discover whether the plucky pig can outsmart the wolf and save his beloved grandma in time.
