By Kathryn Lasky, illustrated by David JarvisDr. Smart Pig is a famous inventor, but tonight he is terribly lonely. A year ago, both of his brothers were eaten by the Big Bad World, and tomorrow is Halloween. What fun trick-or-treating when you're all alone? Suddenly, Dr. Smart Pig has a brilliant idea. He'll go into his laboratory and invent a new friend-a pig who is bigger and better, and absolutely wolf-proof! But imagine his surprise when he ends up creating a monster — it's Porkenstein! As you can imagine, such a huge pig is the Big Bad Wolf's dream come true. But his super-ham-sandwich fantasy turns into a nightmare when Porkenstein proves to be the bigger eater. Dr. Pig's scientific blunders and the wild events that follow are sure to make everyone laugh — as an enormous porker hogs the show and proves that loyalty and true friendship come in all shapes, sizes, and appetites!
