Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
When it comes time for the three little wolves to go out into the world and build themselves a house, their mother warns them to beware the big bad pig. But the little wolves' increasingly sturdy dwellings are no match for the persistent porker, who has more up his sleeve than huffing and puffing. It takes a chance encounter with a flamingo pushing a wheelbarrow full of flowers to provide a surprising and satisfying solution to the little wolves' housing crisis.
Eugene Trivizas's hilarious text and Helen Oxenbury's enchanting watercolors have made this delightfully skewed version of the traditional tale a contemporary classic.

When looking for books to get for our little one, my husband saw the title of this one and thought it sounded fun, so we got it. We were not disappointed!!! Very clever, very fun; a great book. We look forward to when our little one is old enough to enjoy it as much as we do.

The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig, written by Eugene Trivizas and illustrated by the noted artist Helen Oxenbury, is a version of The Three Little Pigs with reversed roles. You probably know the story. But Trivizas puts in some very cute spins, from the China teapot to the "He wasn't called a big, bad pig for nothing!" to the flower house.
I read this to a group of children and adults, ranging in age from 3 to 70. I could tell they enjoyed it, and the text is rich with opportunities to use vocal variety.
Avoid stereotypes! Read this book!

What a delightful twist on the old classic. Illustrations are outstanding and sweet and the ending is authentic large-heartedness!

My son had to have this book. Just from looking at the cover one time! And once we had it in the house, it has become the forever read book. It's illustrations by Helen Oxenbury are amazing and the story will delight children of all ages. It's not scary but it does make you think a bit. I highly recommend this book!

I bought this book as a gift for the younger daughter of a friend. Since I had ordered Harry Potter for her sister, I wanted her to have something too. It turned out to be one terrific gift in many ways. As a parent and teacher, I would never give a book to a child without checking it very first for suitability. I found the story delightful -- warmhearted and humorous. "And the moral of the story is . . . " even better than the original.
The best part for me was that the wolves, those so unfairly maligned family animals, are the Good Guys.
And oh yes, she loved it.
