Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

For those who think they know the story of the Three Little Pigs and the Big, Bad Wolf, here it is as they've never heard it before. In this highly acclaimed, laugh-out-loud collaboration between Scieszka and Smith, Alexander T. Wolf tells his side of the incident.

Review:

Smith's highly imaginative watercolors eschew realism....Designed with uncommon flair, this alternative fable is both fetching and glib." Publishers Weekly

Review:

"It's the type of book that older kids (and adults) will find very funny." School Library Journal

Review:

"Smith's simplistic and wacky illustrations add to the effectiveness of this fractured fairy tale." Childrens' Literature

This book is an excellent way to demonstrate there is always another side to any story. As English an teacher, and as a parent, we often think there is a right way and a wrong way to do or believe certain things. The reality is that unless you know all aspects of a situation, there may be circumstances that are unknown. This book just gives a different twist to an old story, but it can open up a new way of thinking.
