The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs

Jon Scieszka, Lane Smith
Everybody knows the story of the Three Little Pigs. Or at least they think they do.

But I'll let you in on a little secret.

Nobody knows the real story, because nobody has ever heard my side of the story.

I'm the wolf. Alexander T. Wolf.
You can call me Al.

I don't know how this whole Big Bad Wolf thing got started, but it's ALL WRONG.

Jon Scieszka, Lane SmithThis time, the BIG, BAD Wolf - he prefers us to call him Al gets his chance to tell his what's behind the scene - The True Story of the Three Little Pigs.

If your child has already read the classic tale of the Three Little Pigs, he / she will find this very interesting. 

It all started with a birthday cake and a big bad cold ... 

Jon Scieszka, Lane Smith
Once upon a time, Alexander the Wolf was making a birthday cake for his dear old granny. Poor Al had a terrible head cold and kept sneezing for the whole day. 
While making the cake, Al ran out of sugar, so he walked down the street to ask his neighbor for a cup of sugar. 

And his neighbor was A PIG

That PIG wasn't too bright (unfortunately). He had built his whole house out of straw ...
Al was thinking who in his right mind would build a house of straw?

Like the old tale, the Wolf knocked on the door ... And he huffed and snuffed because his nose was really itchy. And he sneezed, the whole straw house fell down. 

It was all an accident.

If you want to find out what happened to the second and third pig, pick up this book and find out from the voice of Alexander T. Wolf. 
Maybe you will become sympathetic and help him changing the history.

The True Story of The 3 Little Pigs is available online at The Book Depository
