The True Story of the Three Little Pigs Paperback – Illustrated, 1 March 1996

I love this book! It's a very clever take on the original "Three Little Pigs" story and the pictures are fun. I've given a copy to my grandson, and just bought a copy for my own collection of children's books. (I'm a former teacher and daycare caregiver and I've read a lot of wonderful children's books in my time, and this is definitely one of my favourites. :-)I've seen some poor reviews here from parents who've said it was a terrible story for 3-year-olds, though, and I tend to agree. In my opinion, this story is better for older children, who can appreciate the twists and jokes in it and the fresh take on the story, and who won't be traumatized by the idea of the wolf being a wolf and eating two of the little pigs. Once they're old enough to understand what the wolf is saying in this story, I think older children, and their parents, will find this story to be quite hilarious. Five stars.One thing that I'm disappointed about is the condition of the paperback when it arrived. Most of the pages were stuck together at the top -- the paper hadn't been cut during production. Even being very careful getting them all apart, most page tops look like the photo I've attached. In all my years of buying paperbacks from Amazon, I have never received a book in such condition. Even the dozens of author copies of my own children's book have arrived in pristine condition. So this is a relatively rare occurrance. I'm glad this book is just for me. If I'd ordered it for a child, I could never have given it in the poor condition it was in. I'd have had to return it. Love the story, but not impressed with Amazon/Kindle Direct Publishing this time around. One star.

Muito bom

Alles ok, gerne wieder

Padrissimo la historia

Great book that I've wanted to buy since reading it in a library as a kid... a very funny take on the 3 Little Pigs story, written long before the current trend of reimaging classic storybook villains.
