Book Reviews of The Three Little Pigs
Book Review: A twist on a classic, great for children and adults alike
Summary: 5 Stars
In Steven Kellogg's inventive take on the storybook classic The Three Little Pigs (HarperCollins, 1997), brothers Percy, Prudence, and Pete find themselves in deep water, or perhaps syrup, when a sinister customer shows up at their town waffle cart hungry for something other than waffles. Having taken over the prospering waffle business from their mother, Sarafina Sow, the pigs are lucky enough to own individual homes in which they attempt to hide from the big, bad wolf, aptly name Tempesto. Tempesto's voracious appetite, however, moves him to violent action as he blows down not just one, but two, of their homes. Kellogg's action-packed illustrations capture the reader's eye with their attention to detail. Although younger ones may not totally take notice of the clever scenery, such as the Pablo Pigasso painting in one of the pigs' homes, they will surely smile at the book's humorous depiction of an animal village, while adults will take pleasure in the fact that the illustrations are more than just expressive colors on a page. Children will rejoice with the triumph of the miniature hog heroes of this tale and laugh out loud at the animals' comical battle involving flying watermelons and ending with a creative addition to the waffle cart's menu: the "wolffle."
Summary of The Three Little Pigs
"Open up, Pork Chop! Or I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll flatten this dump!"
Three little pigs are happily working away in their delicious family business -- making the best-tasting waffles in the world. Business is so good, in fact, that the three siblings can live comfortably in their very own homes -- Percy in his straw bungalow, Pete in his log cabin, and Prudence in her brick cottage. Then Tempesto, the meanest wolf on the block, shows up and wants more than waffles for breakfast -- he wants the three little pigs! Here is a zany retelling of a classic folktale from master storyteller Steven Kellogg.
