This might be my favorite take on the three little pigs story. I love how creative Wiesner is with his illustrations, and my daughter loved that there was a nice dragon involved.

Highly, highly recommend. ( )

Summary
This picture book is a twist on the classic fairy tale the Three Little Pigs. There is a change with how the pigs are able to get away from the big bad wolf and make their own story! While moving through the pages and jumping through different fairy tales the pigs are able to meet some friends along the way, to end happily ever after!

Review
I am so happy this book was recommended by my internship director. I was sharing with her about the weeks topic of learning about fairy tales and her first reaction was “you need to read The Three Pigs by Daivid Wiesner.” I am so glad she did! I love when a book is not a direct fairytale.

This book reminds me of The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs by Jon Scieszka and Honestly, Red Riding Hood was rotten: the story of Little Red Riding Hood as told by the wolf by Trisha Shaskan. Both of these stories are a twist on the fairy tale written in a different perspective. ( )

This is a good book for teaching a class on how the story isn't always as it seems. It can help teach students about not judging a book by it's cover. ( )

This story keeps children guessing as the author puts a twist on the traditional story of the The Three Pigs. It starts with the story of the 3 Little Pigs, as the wolf blows the houses made of straw and sticks down go get a snack. But instead, the pigs get blown out of the story and do some exploring of other stories.

This story starts as the traditional story of the three little pigs. Then, the three pigs escape from the story and move into their own imagination. They go through different stories taking their own twists and turns. Beautiful illustrations bring this picture book to life.
