The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs - Jon Scieszka, illustrated by Lane Smith
Viking Press
ISBN: 0-670-82759-2

My rating: 5 out of 5

This version of the classic fairy tale is very different than what we all know and love. This book tells the tale from the perspective of Alexander T. Wolf and his misunderstanding that stemmed from trying to borrow a cup of sugar from his neighbors.

I have fallen in love with Jon Scieszka's work recently and I consider this book to be one of his best. The story is full of humor that will entertain both kids and adults alike.

This is a great book that teachers can use for both entertainment and educational purposes. Important life lessons about perspective and point-of-view can easily be incorporated with this story. "The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs" is a must-have that all libraries need to have.
