THE MODERN CLASSIC WITH OVER THREE MILLION COPIES SOLD • The Big Bad Wolf tells his side in this fractured fairy tale, brought to life with irreverent storytelling and artwork that “older kids (and adults) will find very funny” ( School Library Journal ). A New York Times Best Book of the Year • American Booksellers Association Picture Book Hall of Fame • Society of Illustrators Silver Medal • New York Public Library 100 Great Children’s Books for 100 Years • An American Library Association Notable Book You may think you know the story of the Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf—but only one person knows the real story. That person is A. Wolf. His tale starts with a birthday cake for his dear old granny, a bad head cold . . . and a bad reputation. It ends in the Big House: the Pig Pen. What really happened when A. Wolf was at the door? Was it an historic pig out or a Mother Goose frame-up? You read it. You decide. Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith combine their talents for droll tales and provocative reporting to bring the true story of this much maligned figure to the public. Big and Bad? Could be. Hilarious? Of course. Review: Best twist of a classic book ever! - This was one of my favorite, most memorable books as a kid! I loved it and wanted one. I wished my students would love it too. But unfortunately they can't part from the original 3 Little Pigs. Maybe when they are older they will learn to love the wolf! Review: This is the best version of the three little pigs - Love reading this story to children. Use your best voices and excitement and make the story come alive. The children and maybe some adults even will be so surprised.

Best twist of a classic book ever!
This was one of my favorite, most memorable books as a kid! I loved it and wanted one. I wished my students would love it too. But unfortunately they can't part from the original 3 Little Pigs. Maybe when they are older they will learn to love the wolf!

Love it!
I read this when I was younger and my daughter loves the original Three Little Pigs, so I thought she might like this one too. Boy does she! She always picks this one for me to read to her. It's a bit morbid, but she also loves Nightmare Before Christmas, so it's right up her alley. Lol

Fun Version
My grand daughter loves any story with farm animals. I have read her multiple versions of the traditional 3 little pigs and I thought it would be fun to start on the UNusual versions. As a teacher I read this to my students and they loved it.

Excellent as an enjoyable read or teaching resource
Excellent book! I have used it with children in Yr3/4 (7-9 year olds). Builds on well from nursery rhymes and traditional tales children will have read in KS1. Also good for exploring stories from other viewpoints from either a literacy or PSHE lens. Aside from the learning opportunities, it is a fun book and a great one to read aloud.

Carina l'idea
Storia alternativa dei 3 porcellini,vista dall'ottica del lupo. Un po'più discorsivo, va bene se si legge insieme
