Book Description
In the fine tradition of scorched earth, take no prisoners political satire, The Three Little Pigs Buy the White House pokes fun at a certain trio of Republican politicians who are living high on the hog.

Watch out: these little pigs have no problem replacing brick with straw when it comes to your nation's security.

And don't be afraid of the Big Bad Wolf, that is, if . . . uh . . . we can find him.

Written and illustrated by celebrated Bizarro cartoonist, Dan Piraro, The Three Little Pigs Buy the White House is the perfect mockery of politics as grimy as bacon grease.

1. I bought this about about a month ago on a recommendation from my s.i.l...
She's a librarian and loved it. It's very funny, very smart political humor... plus my kids like to read it, too! :7

2. Bizarro was always ones of my faves.
In comic book form, it should be understood by the dumb pukes I know.

4. This book is great!
I bought it before the elections and started a bookring (where it travels the world from person to person and they all write their comments before mailing it on) on bookcrossing.com
It has been to 19 people in 3 countries, read the wonderful comments that it has inspired!

My mom liked the book so much, she bought it as Christmas gifts for all her brothers and sisters.
