Synopsis

A hilarious retelling of the Three Little Pigs by Jon Scieszka.

You may think you know the story of the Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf - but only one person knows the real story. And that person is A. Wolf. His tale starts with a birthday cake for his dear old granny, a bad head cold and a bad reputation. The rest (as they say) is history.

A hilariously inventive retelling of the popular story which Publishers Weekly called the 'Funniest book of the year'.

Jon Scieszka began to train as a doctor but left to take a course in fiction writing at Columbia University and to become a teacher. He lives in Brooklyn and spends his time writing and talking about books. Lane Smith, an acclaimed author/illustrator, has achieved major success in his collaborations with Jon Scieszka. He also provided the original concept and illustrations for the hit film James and the Giant Peach. He lives in New York.

A great book for discussion about points of view. We've had some really good debates about whether the wolf is a baddie or not!
