Book Reviews of The True Story of the Three Little Pigs
Book Review: This one is sure to get lots of laughs
Summary: 5 Stars
The True Story of the Three Little Pigs is one of my favorite stories to read to my two girls. I like it because the illustrations are incredibly detailed and very funny (in a slightly off-beat and twisted way). I also love that the story is told from the poor wolf's perspective.
This book is one that illustrates that there are always two sides to every story. We all know the pigs' side of the story, and in this delightfully funny version, we get to hear the wolf's side.
I've had this book for several years now and it has been a family favorite. Children as young as two will find this story very funny. My oldest child is nearly eight and she still thinks this book is a riot. On several occasions she has brought this book in to school to share with her class. We have yet to come across a group of children who don't like this book.
Book Review: What Really Happened
Summary: 5 Stars
We all know the story of the 3 little pigs but is it the true story? In the original story the 3 little pigs were the protaganists and the wolf was the villian. But now we hear the story from the wolf's point of veiw in "The True Story Of The 3 Little Pigs!" written by Jon Scieszka.It seems The Big Bad Wolf,with a Big Bad Cold, only wanted to bake a cake for his dear old granny. When he went to his neighbors for a cup of sugar, he sneezed their houses down and he coudn't leave good meat to spoil. So when the media saw the incident they thought it was too boring. So they spiced it up with "The Big Bad Wolf," and he was locked away. This book is a great read for kids as well as adults. The pictures in this book are very amusing to look at and is good for bedtime stories. Parents your kids will love this book and kids your parents will love it too!
Book Review: A funny book
Summary: 5 Stars
I stumbled on this one.
This funny story is about Alexander T. Wolf as he explains his side of the story of the three little pigs.
As he would have you belive he was maligned for having a cold and needing a cup of sugar for the cake he is making for his dear old granny. He sets out to borrow one and twice he accidentally sneezes and blows down the straw house and the stick house.
In both cases the pigs die and not wanting to waste; he eats them.
Problems arise at the brick house. The third pig says some mean things about the granny and he gets mad. The police arrive and he is arrested and later framed by the press for the crimes he didn't really commit.
The book is fun. The artwork is funny and there are witty jokes all through it.
Book Review: Amazingly Funny!
Summary: 5 Stars
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
