Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious!
Review: This book is fabulous for any age group. Young children will enjoy hearing the wolf, of "THe Three Little Pigs" tell his tale of woe. A great book for teaching pre-teens that there are two sides to every story, and you can't always believe the first story you hear or everything you read. Adults will appreciate it for it's fresh look on a classic old tale.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The True Story of the Three Little Pigs
Review: A Great Book. This book is hilarious and does an excellent job of helping kids remember that there are two sides to every story. I use this book along with the original story and The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig to introduce the concept of different perspectives to 3 to 5 year olds. They love the stories and suprisingly enough, they start to grasp the concept that everyone has a different story to tell. Highly Recomended.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Some Pig
Review: Jon Scieska and Lane Smith are sick tickets and I for one am really glad they decided not to do therapy but instead write and illustrate kids' books. Their Three Pigs is now a classic (ten years, one half a generation of readers). I've used it in classrooms from K-12, always with great (wolflike) howls of laughter and (porcine) squeals of delight from the youngsters.I've used it as the basis of a junior high writing unit (kids had to rewrite fairy tales in mock-trial format) and in creative dramatics classes (kids had to act it out and not crack up). The new updated version includes a "letter from the pen" explaining how the file got in that cake from granny (of course it wasn't the wolf's fault). This is one of those books every kid ought to own and every teacher ought to be given. Spare your kid's teacher another mug this Christmas and instead buy him/her The True Story of the Three Little Pigs or one of the similarly fractured fairy tales by this delightfully goofy team that has also done Stinky Cheese Man, Frog Prince, The math Curse, the Time Warp Trio and Squids Will be Squids. These are all suitable titles to give to adults too, especially those that you don't know well enough to give them socks but you don't want to give them something like candy because they'll get all hyper. I'd give the Math Curse to my Bookkeeper and accountant. My lawyer would probablylove a copy of the Three Pigs.

Summary: How sweet it is
Review: This book is so honest and sweet. I guarntee you will smile and laugh your way through it. my son and I love this book. The illustrations are wonderful.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A beautifully done spoof on the 3 Little Pigs!
Review: This is an irresistibly silly, great work of comic art!

Yes indeed, there is always another side to a story! A. Wolf explains his side of the classic tale in an almost plausible and sympathetic way. It was all an accident! It wasn't his fault! He didn't mean to sneeze those flimsy little houses down, and now would you have him walk away from a perfectly good ham dinner?

This book is great fun to read, and the art contains amazing little extras that add another layer to the humor. Of course, the audience has to know the old version of the 3 Little Pigs story; not one of the modern, watered-down, nobody-gets-hurt modified versions...

A perennial favorite.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I thought this book is a very useful tool.
Review: I am a graduate student studying elementary education. I used this book to do a project on point of view of different characters in the same storyline. I first read the story "The Three Little Pigs," and then I read "The True Story of The 3 Little Pigs!" It is a perfect way for students to see two sides of the same story.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great Book For All Ages!
Review: This story is from the Wolf's point of view. Now who should we believe? Maybe we have had the story wrong all of these years, maybe not! 11 of us think the Pigs are telling the truth, 9 of us believe the Wolf. Read this book and see what you think.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun to read over and over!
Review: This book is as much fun to read the 100th time as it is the first. (Trust me, I have...) My 5 year old got it as a gift and neither of us can get enough of this delightful "twist" on the classic tale.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An excellent book for children of all ages to enjoy
Review: Jon Scieszka's "biography" of Al wolf's tru tale of a sneeze and a cup of sugar is an exciting and funny book. Al Wolf tells his tale as a simple misunderstanding and a Wolf that ate 2 pigs because he didn't want to waste any food. This new twist of the original story creates a new story for young kids to enjoy. Al Wolf makes the kids believe that the pigs are evil and that Al shouldn't be considered big and bad because his diet consists of cute fury animals. An excellent picture book for kids to see how the wolf is illustrated as a proper man, and the pigs illustrated as slobs. A must-buy book for all children.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I loved the book
Review: I thought this book was the best when I first read it. Im 15 years old and its still one of my favrorite Childrens books. I went shopping with my mom last week in this little store and as soon as I had seen the book on the shelf I got so excited and whipped it out and hit myself in the head with it and no Im not mentally Challenged. I just love the book even at 15!!!

P.S My mom got me the book and fixed the bump on my head.
