Rating: Summary: The True Story of the Three Little Pigs Review: This is a new twist to the three little pigs. I work in a elementary school library and love to read to the students. This was one of my favorites, I can't wait every year to read this book to the students. They all laugh and giggle.
Rating: Summary: The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs Review: For over 200 years we've been told and believed the story of the three poor little pigs and the big bad wolf. Now it's time for the infamous wolf to tell his side of the story. He says that all he wanted was to borrow a cup of sugar to make his dear old granny a birthday cake. He has a terrible head cold, but things go from bad to worse. It ends in the Big House: the Pig Pen. Was he framed? Big and Bad? Could be. Hilarious? Positively! Young and old will enjoy this "sequel" to The Three Little Pigs.
Rating: Summary: Two Sides? Review: "The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs" is a fractured fairy tale told from the wolf's perspective. This age old fairy tale is a delight for children to read, for parents to read to children, and for adults to read themselves. Entertaining for one and all.
Rating: Summary: Poor Wolf...It Wasn't his Fault Review: Jon Scieskza never disappoints and he's not starting now. He's taken the story of The Three Pigs and given it a new twist. This time, the story is told by the Big Bad Wolf. Only he really wasn't so bad. It was all a silly mistake. He was only going to the pig houses to borrow a cup of sugar and he had a terrible sneezy cold. And as the wolf says..."The rest is history". Great writing with witty, hip language. Terrific illustrations by Lane Smith. This is a wonderful parody that children of all ages will enjoy and a must for all home libraries.
Rating: Summary: Hiliarious and Thought-Provoking! Review: This was a great way of approaching the oft-heard story of the Three Little Pigs. Through fanciful illustrations and strong voice (the voice of the Wolf, of course) we hear the "true" version of what really happened to the pigs. This is perfect for reading with children, or for classroom discussions of voice, perspective, etc. in any grade
Rating: 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
Rating: Summary: Very Funny and Informative Review: I am a preschool teacher and I have read this book several times to my class of 4 year olds. We laugh everytime time we read it. One child said to me that they never knew the wolf had feelings like we do. It also helps the children to understand that there are always 2 sides to a story.
Rating: Summary: There are always two sides to every story! Review: This is an excellent book. It is not only entertaining, but educational. Because it tells a well-known story from a different point-of-view, it clearly demonstrates to children (and reminds us adults as well) that there are always two sides to any story. A very enjoyable story indeed!
Rating: Summary: The True Story of The Three Little Pigs Review: This is a delightful, funny book. The pictures are wonderful. Brings a laugh to children reading or being read to. Give it a try. Works very well in a classroom situation.
Rating: Summary: uproariously funny Review: I was in a children's store looking for a book to buy my godchild, when I stumbled upon this prize. This book was absolutely hilarious. The whole concept that it was not the wolf that should be blamed, but his sneezy, runny cold, that is absolutely priceless. I am sure my godchild and her mother who will read the story to her will enjoy equally. This book should adorn the shelves of every family with small children.
