About this ebook
Children play the role of the big bad wolf in a classic fable in this “wonderfully expressive . . . beautifully designed and wholly engaging picture book.”(Booklist)
This interactive retelling of the Three Little Pigs story allows the reader to play the part of the big bad wolf. Three interior die-cut holes invite readers to huff, puff, and blow the pigs’ houses down! This fractured fairy tale ends sweetly when, rather than blowing down the third pig’s brick home, the wolf/reader blows out the candles on a cake baked by the pigs! A satisfying and engaging read for every young Three Little Pigs fan.
“A good chance for youngsters to relish enacting the wicked role while still getting a friendly reconciliation at the end.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Very young readers will get a kick out of taking the wolf’s part, and their parents will appreciate that the scariest bits of the original tale have been omitted.” —School Library Journal

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5That was an interesting play on the traditional three little pigs story. They still build their houses, there is still huffing and puffing, but the ending is happier. The illustrations are simple and work really well with the story. #Wintergames #teamreadnosereindeer +16
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Great illustrations and very easy words. In other words, perfect for beginners. The story is okay, basically the three pigs with a happy twist. Again, good for young children that don't like the ending of the original. I think everyone can appreciate the illustrations though, they are very good. I would use this in K-1st or 2nd.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This is an original story tale told in a non-traditional way.
