In "The 3 Little Dassies" by Jan Brett, the classic tale is reimagined with adorable dassies (dassies are rock hyraxes) as the main characters. The three little dassies each build their own homes: one of straw, one of sticks, and one of sturdy stones. When a hungry leopard comes along, he easily blows down the first two homes. However, the clever dassie in the stone house devises a plan to outsmart the leopard. With vibrant illustrations and charming storytelling, this retelling highlights themes of ingenuity, resilience, and the importance of working together while engaging young readers in a delightful adventure.
