Book Reviews of The True Story of the Three Little Pigs
Book Review: An Amazingly Funny Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved reading The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs. It was very entertaining and fun to read. Not only for children, but for teens and adults as well. It shows that every criminal should get their chance to prove their side of the story. It gave the wolf's perspective of the story of the Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf. This book was interesting because the wolf came up with such a hilarious story for what really happened. He said that he was going to their houses to get a cup of sugar for a cake he was making! The wolf also said that he just sneezed when the pig's houses fell down, he didn't really mean to knock them down. (They should have been built better anyways!) He said that the media just jazzed up the trial to make it seem more interesting! This book had comical illustrations to interpret what was happening in the story. The illustrations like almost like a collage. I think this is a great book, and that every child that had heard the story of The Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf should definitely read this humorous book.Book Review: The True Story of The Three Little Pigs

Book Review: c'mon Al, fess up !
Summary: 5 Stars
This hillarious book could be read two ways...was Mr. Wolf framed ? Was it just media excess up to its usual tricks ? Could be, ya never know !Or, was old Al just like those people "near and dear" to us, who will say anything, blame anyone, and re-write history if necessary, to justify their actions ? Yes, I have a feeling Mr. Wolf had a big weasel streak in him. It would be interesting to read this story with kids and point out these two viewpoints, and how good it feels to be able to say "I did it, and I'm sorry".
The illustrations by Lane Smith are brilliant, expressive, and with a lot of wit...the "protein" in the giant cheeseburger is so funny !...there are details that will keep you entertained for several viewings, and the use of newspaper cuttings is great. This is a unique and imaginitve book for all ages...the adults I think will appreciate it the most, because old Al will remind us of a few people we know...
Book Review: The Wolf Was Framed!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Book Review: Another perspective makes the story interesting...
Summary: 5 Stars
The True Story of the Three Little Pigs allows readers to think about the classic tale from a different perspective- the wolf's. The wolf explains how the whole story started with his search to find a cup of sugar for his grandmother's birthday cake. After having terrible sneezing attacks, the wolf accidently blows the first two pigs' houses down. After the third house, the wolf makes a big scene and gets put into jail. The papers leave out all of the nice information about the wolf and elaborate on the crimes he committed.
I love this book because it shows how the media can twist stories around to make them more exciting for the readers. It shows both children and adults how not everything they see or hear about in the news is true. I think this message is especially important in the media-driven society that we live in today. I enjoy this book and recommend it to others.
