Summary: Now we know the OTHER side of the story...
Review: I believe that everyone has at least one favorite children's book. It may be one that brings back a good memory of being read to, or it may be one that can still put a smile on your face and make you laugh. For me, one of those books is The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs! written by Jon Scieszka and illustrated by Lane Smith. I first read this book about thirteen years ago when my mom bought it for me. Nothing at that time could have made me happier than this book. The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs! is a hilarious retelling of the classic The Three Little Pigs. Only this time, the story is told from the perspective of the "Big Bad Wolf", named A. Wolf in this story. A. Wolf's version tells all about his side of the story. At the beginning of this book, A. Wolf explains, "I don't know how this whole Big Bad Wolf thing got started, but it's all wrong". A. Wolf says that all he was trying to do was borrow a cup of sugar from the pigs so that he could bake his dear old granny a birthday cake. It was all a big misunderstanding, at least according to A. Wolf.
Not only is this one of the best written children's stories I have seen, it is also one of the best illustrated. The author Jon Scieszka is known for his off-beat children's books, and I think they are an excellent way to get children to read, because he makes his stories so much fun for all ages. I am now twenty-one years old and just re-read this book and it still made me laugh out loud. As a child, I could not get enough of this book. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to have a good laugh, and who doesn't want that?

Summary: Max's Book Review
Review: Aside from being funny and having great illustrations,this book has value in showing children that there are two sides to every story.I wouldn't recommend this book for younger children, but older children and adults will definitely enjoy it. Another great book similar to this by the same authors is the Stinky Cheeseman and Other Stupid Tales.

Summary: It wasn't my fault!
Review: Did you know that the wolf is really innocent? He just had a cold. This book can be a good introduction to the concept of two sides to every story. It's creative and enjoyable to read.

Summary: The Wolf Was Framed!
Review: Do you know the original story of "The Three Little Pigs"? If you don't, please read it or have someone recite it to you before reading this book, otherwise you won't get it. You'll miss all the humor and there is a lot of it in this book, "The True Story Of The Three Little Pigs", by A. Wolf (the actual wolf) as told to Jon Scieszka.Find out how the famous line, "I'll huff and puff and blow your house down" got started. Alexander T. Wolf (the big bad wolf)tells his side of the story from inside the big house (The Pig Pen). You'll be amazed at what really happened. What an imaginative story. I wish I could have thought of it. Even though this picture book, with beautiful illustrations by Lane Smith, is for kids 3-8, I think adults will also get a kick out of it. It's a perfect bed-time story. The original Three Little Pigs was more of a suspense story (maybe even a little scary) but this book is full of laugh-out-loud humor.

Summary: The wolf's story
Review: I loved this book! Not only is it an entertaining book for children but adults as well. It is a funny and slightly sarcastic look at mordern American culture where every Criminal gets a chance to explain away or excuse his or her crime. You see the wolf realy didn't mean to blow down the little pig's houses it was all just an innocent accident. (Besides they should have built them better) And the part about him being a big bad wolf? All a creation of the media to jazz up his criminal trial and sell more newspapers. It's rare to find a childrens book these days that is fun and creative but this one is both and belongs in every house with children that have heard the pig's version of the this crime against fairy tale swine.

Summary: Max's Book Review
Review: I read the book, "The True Story of the Three Little Pigs" by Jon Scieszka. This is a fantastic childrens' book based on the original story of the three little pigs. I really enjoyed the creative, detailed illustrations and the interesting plot. According to this version of "The Three Little Pigs", the wolf is completely innocent. I also liked the fluent writing style of the book. Reading this book, you gain the understanding of the wolf's side of the story, which is not often read. I would recommend "The True Story of the Three Little Pigs" to someone who enjoys humorous books. I think that this book is one that both parents and children can enjoy reading together! I really enjoyed this book and i think you will to!

Summary: The True Story Of The 3 Little Pigs
Review: I thought the book was hillrious. It's about this wolf who's making a cake for his granny's birthday.Then the wolf noticed that he didn't have any sugar.So the wolf goes asking his pig neighbors for a cup of sugar.So the wolf went to house #1.House #1 didn't want to to give the cup of sugar to the wolf.
The wolf had a cold so he sneezed a big sneeze and blew the first little pigs house down.The pig was dead so the wolf ate the poor little pig.The same thing happened with the second little pig.The last little pig was the "brains" of the family he built his house out of bricks.This pig didn't want to give the wolf some sugar.The wolf tried to blow the house down but he couldn't it.The wolf got really mad. Then the cops came. Now the wolf is in jail.

Summary: Amazingly Funny!
Review: I'm a 12 year-old kid, and I still love this point of view of thestory the three little pigs. I got kind of tired of the old story ofthe three little pigs, but this book is incredible! It's like a whole other story! I don't acctually own the book(unfortunately), but it was read to me at school once. It makes me feel sorry for the wolf, because I always thought that he had no feelings and that he was just a bad and mean wolf. I heard many versions of the three little pigs. The one where the 2 little pigs get eaten and the 3rd stayes alive, the one where all the pigs stay safe in the 3rd pig's house, and many more. But I must say, out of all the versions I have ever read, this one was defenitly my favorite one, and it deserves 5 stars. I greatly recomend it to you. END

Summary: GREAT book for not only kids but ADULTS..trust me!!
Review: I'm STILL chuckling after buying this book and reading it before gifting it to my nephew Greg, 11, and Kayla, 7. And,. as with other books by Jon Scieszka, the huge problem is: I want this book for MYSELF.
The bottom line is that in his version, wonderfully illstrated by Lane Smith, the Three Little Pigs is the ultimate story of SPIN CONTROL. This time, unlike in a zillion other versions, the wolf is telling HIS side of the story -- what REALLY happened. And to hear him tell his story (with all of the familiar elements and a delicious economy of words) it's all a terrible mistunderstanding about his allergy, his desire not to waste food, and distortions by the press. None of this gives any of this away, since the genius of this is not only in the conception, but in the TELLING of the story. Don't consider this just a book for kids. You can EASILY gift it to friends, relatives, favorite (and unfavorite) politicians and members of the media. It's the perfect late 20th-early-21st century retelling of the story, with the wolf as the poor misunderstood victim (of the police, the media, and his health etc). Just like the old Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons, this works on two levels so the adults will be as delighted as the kids by this story -- which could easily have run as one of Mad Magazine's better pieces. Get it for the kids, read it for yourself...and get ready to realize what a great gift this would be for adults of any political persuasions. LOVED IT so much...I hate to give this to the kids! Kids of ALL ages will love this story, whether you read it to them or they read it themselves (so will the kids under 40 years old).
