The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs! by A. Wolf, as told to Jon Scieszka, illustrated by Lane Smith

Rating: ★★★★

Genre: Children’s lit, fractured fairy tale

Medium: Hardcover

Synopsis: The story that you think you know about the 3 little pigs is completely untrue.  Now, for the first time ever, A. Wolf has come to tell you his side of the story, and it involves some sugar and a very big sneeze.

Review: If you want to laugh out loud, read this book!  This here is one of the funniest fractured fairy tales I’ve ever read, and it’s paired with Lane Smith’s already imaginative drawings!  Truly though, Scieszka and Lane make a wonderful duo.

This is one of the few books from my children’s lit class that I remember reading as a child, and I have to say I loved it just as much 15 years ago as I do now.  Though I do have to say that reading it nowadays, I can’t believe I forgot about what A. Wolf did with the pigs’ bodies after he accidentally sneezed their houses down…

But overall, great story, great fractured fairy tale, and great art!!  Definitely great for kids who are used to the same ol’ fairy tale as usual, because this one has a lot of twists and turns!
