The True Story of the Three Little Pigs

by Jon Scieszka
Illustrated by Lane Smith

One Potato Review

“Hey, it’s not my fault wolves eat cute little animals like bunnies and sheep and pigs. That’s just the way we are. If cheeseburgers were cute, folks would probably think you were Big and Bad, too.”Yeah, everybody’s got a story. Some are just funnier than others. And more thoughtfully substantiated – by magnificent illustrations, and historical biases, and circumstantial threads. Because who is less credible finally, the longtime model prisoner with a healthy appetite and an eye for social graces, or the kind of idiot builds his house out of straw, and won’t even answer the door?
