The folktale of the "Three Little Pigs" is presented from the humorous perspective of a beleaguered wolf, whose innocent requests to borrow cups of sugar are rendered cataclysmic by a snoutful of unfortunate sneezes. Reprint. Review: 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. Review: Different retelling of a classic - Great story

Great book
I have purchased this book as gifts 5 times now. It’s a story I had as a child and a great one to gift to a little boy, I always struggle to find books more suitable to boys and this is a great one. Good story retelling and adjusting the three little pigs story. Love the illustrations.

Amazing book
Such a cute book! The kids love it and so do I. It's amazing for Talk for Writing and you can do so many lessons around it if you're a teacher. For parents it's just a great story

Such a fun read!
Enjoyed this book when teaching a English lesson to a year 3 class. They enjoyed reading an alternate POV story of a classic. They got stuck in debating the Wolf's character. Amazing story and good quality/sturdy.

Very funny!
Children and adults never tire of this book. It's so enjoyable to read. It's funny, with good illustrations and all my children have loved this book. (Can also use this book as an introduction into philosophy; why do many people presume the wolf is always the bad guy - an introduction into what is truth? and subjectivity and objectivity).

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

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!
