What's the Matter with the Three Little Pigs?: The Fairy-Tale Physics of Matter

by Thomas Kingsley Troupe, Jomike Tejido (Illustrator)

Overview

What's the matter with the three little pigs? They're being tormented by a hungry wolf! And no matter what kind of matter they use to build their homes, it doesn't matter. The STEM-savvy, rhyme-loving wolf in this fractured fairy tale always seems to spoil the day. A glossary and critical thinking questions support the story's physics content.
