The Three Little Wolves And The Big Bad Pig

The Three Little Wolves And The Big Bad Pig - Eugene Trivizas, illustrated by Helen Oxenbury
Margaret K. McElderry Books
ISBN: 0-689-50569-8

My rating: 4.5 out of 5

I really liked this book. It is the story of the three pigs, but just a little different. The wolves don't cook the big bad pig in a pot, like you would think (similar to the traditional fairy tale), but at the end, they all become friends. This story is very good and shows how even the worst of enemies can become a good friend.

The pictures were very well done and I enjoyed them very much. I really liked how you can see the wolves carrying the Chinese tea pot from house to house.

"The Three Little Wolves" is an amusing take on the story of the three pigs and I would recommend this to any teacher.
