Definition:

Integrity means being honest, and responsible and respectful all the time, whether or not people can see what you’re doing. 

In short:

Do the right thing, even when no one's looking. 

Summary:
This book features well-loved characters from other stories, including the famous Big Bad Wolf, who tries to convince the three little pigs and others that he has changed and is no longer bad. When he’s asked to tell the real story about what happened between him and the three little pigs, he makes up excuses for his malevolent behavior. When his friends find this unacceptable, the Big Bad Wolf confesses that he was a bully, and he asks for their forgiveness. The former Big Bad Wolf builds them a beautiful house as a way to prove how sorry he felt.
