Synopsis

"The pig who invests in bricks, of course, does the gobbling when he encounters the wolf, after a merry mass of near misses that blithely build suspense. There are fairy tales, and there are Marshall's tales. [Audiences] can also be forgiven for preferring his over all the rest. ---Publishers WeeklyThink you know the story of the three little pigs? Not until you've experienced this version, retold by award-winning author-illustrator James Marshall. Children will know and love the familiar characters—three pig brothers and one huffing-puffing wolf—and they will giggle over the funny, new dialogue, which puts a fresh, modern twist on the classic tale.

This rendition of The Three Little Pigs is similar to the original story I grew up knowing, but very different in many ways. First, the first two little pigs are both outsmarted and eaten by the wolf. This is different from the forgiving and gentle story I grew up with where the first and second pig......more
