A new book, "The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs" by Jon Scieszka and illustrated by Lane Smith, has been installed on the Story Walk south of the beach on the east side of Lake Eufaula in Oklahoma. The humorous tale is told from the perspective of the wolf, who claims he was framed and was just trying to borrow a cup of sugar. Walkers who find the hidden code word can claim a prize at the local library.
