The True Story of the Three Little Pigs by Jon Scieszka, Lane Smith (Illustrator)

“There has obviously been some kind of mistake,” writes Alexander T. Wolf from the pig penitentiary where he’s doing time for his alleged crimes of 10 years ago. Here is the “true” story of the three little pigs from the wolf’s perspective. Allegedly their houses are huffed and puffed to smithereens… This poor, misunderstood wolf has gotten a bad reputation. A victim of circumstance. He just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, with a sneezing cold, just trying to borrow a cup of sugar to make his granny a cake. Is it his fault those ham dinners build such flimsy homes? I will let you decide.

This is a wonderful book for all ages. I have used this book from Kindergarten to the 8th grade! The possibilities are endless.

About Tiny Treasury

It's impossible to get rid of a bad children's book once it has entered your house. In fact, if history teaches us anything, it's that it will become a favorite. Your child will cling to it, sleep with it and worst yet, require you to read it over and over again.

At tinytreasury.com, our mission is separate the good from the bad. If I can save one parent from having to read a rhyming book about dancing pigs, then I'll know I've done my job.
