Book Reviews of The True Story of the Three Little Pigs
Book Review: The wolf's story
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this book! Not only is it an entertaining book for children but adults as well. It is a funny and slightly sarcastic look at mordern American culture where every Criminal gets a chance to explain away or excuse his or her crime.You see the wolf realy didn't mean to blow down the little pig's houses it was all just an innocent accident. (Besides they should have built them better)
And the part about him being a big bad wolf? All a creation of the media to jazz up his criminal trial and sell more newspapers.
It's rare to find a childrens book these days that is fun and creative but this one is both and belongs in every house with children that have heard the pig's version of the this crime against fairy tale swine.
Book Review: To : Al : " God Bless You"
Summary: 5 Stars
Talk about "the flip side!" This book was great. Jon Sceiszka has done a great job of protraying the wolf as a inocent victim. The true story was about a sneeze and a cup of sugar. The way that he inter-weaved the two stories was perfect. Jon told the wolfs side well without changing the original pattern of the story. I am a college student and a future teacher of America. I really enjoyed reading this book. I remember when it was first released and my 4th grade teacher read it in class! I loved it then and I love it now! This book is the perfect book to teach point of view, when comparing it to the traditional three little pigs story. It's also a good way to discuss the impact of media.Book Review: Poor Alexander T. Wolf....
Summary: 5 Stars
Finally the truth comes out that the wolf wasn't the bad guy that the pigs made him out to be. What could cause a nice wolf like Al to go after the pigs? Read this and find out.This book is so funny. Scieszka is a fantastic storyteller. This is a book for kids and adults with the hart of kids that never really grew up,and that qualifiles me. *LOL*
This book can be used to teach kids lessons that deal with Point of View of one character. I plan to use use this book in my classroom when I start teaching.
I can't say enough good things about this book. Scieszka is a fantasctic author. I have several of his books. I highly suggest he is added to your children's library. You won't be sorry.
Book Review: The True Story of the Three Little Pigs
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is about the three little pigs and the wolf but its the part of the wolf that he said you didn't hear.The wolf was comenting that he is not a bad wolf and that he went to the pigs houses to get a cup of sugar.When he went to their house they were very rude because they were telling him to go away.He said he didn't blow their house down on purpose he blew it down beacuse he sneezed.He ate them because they wee already dead and he said why leave dead pigs here for someone else to eat when I could eat them my self.I gave this book five stars because I liked this book alot beacause it is funny and I think that if other people read this book they will like it to.Book Review: An excellent book for children of all ages to enjoy
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
