    I liked this book because of its characters and the plot. I found this version of the story to be very interesting because it is a bit different then the classic tale. The plot was very simple and direct, because it told the original story of “The Three Little Pigs” but included some of its own new details. For example, in this version the pigs bought the materials to build their homes from an “old sowMan.” The story began with the wolf eating the little pig that lived in the straw house and the little pig that lived in the furze house. The rest of the tale only talked about the pig that lived in the brick house, and the wolf that was trying so hard to eat him. Since the wolf was unable to blow the brick house down, he instead attempted to lure the pig out of his house. The wolf tried to trick the pig many times, but the pig always managed to outsmart the wolf. For example, the wolf asked the pig if he wanted to go apple picking. The pig said yes and asked the wolf for the location of the apple trees. Next he secretly went an hour before the wolf was supposed to arrive, and picked apples by himself. The wolf tried to lure the pig outside to other places, but soon decided to give up. Finally the wolf went down the pig’s chimney and ended up in a pot of boiling water, and was eaten by the pig. I found the story to be a bit ironic considering the wolf wanted to eat the pig, and was eventually consumed by one.I feel that the main idea of the story is that playing tricks on others can backfire in many ways. The wolf was a mean character that was also sneaky, and unkind. Ultimately, the wolf got what he deserved at the end of the story.
