This was a really cute story about the great great great great grand son of the big bad wolf and his attempt at being good. Fun story and adorable illustrations.

beautiful drawings, cute story- a surprisingly worthwhile read from a boardbook.

This book is a great addition to the trend of re-writing the traditional story of The 3 Little Pigs. The author has added a moral/message of letting go of the past that many should hear. As the author and illustrator, Eva Montanari has done an excellent job weaving the old with the new. The narrative of the story flows similar to that of the original story however, the illustrations are much different. The pencil drawings are almost childlike and are very detailed. If a the reader does not stop to look closely at each illustration they loose some of the meaning of the story. A fun read for all.

The great-great-great-great grandson of the Big Bad Wolf tells a bedtime story of his own visit to a party of little pigs at a house made of bricks.

A clever and redemptive twist on the Three Little Pigs tale. This one would be great for practicing making predictions. The illustration style is different, but works.

While this book's overall story is sweet and the intentions are good, I find it a bit tricky. Without spoiling the end, I feel there is a moment in this book that demonstrates a lack of consent. I'm sure plenty of parents are going to feel this is being overwrought, but this is how we overstep boundaries, even when our intentions are good.

The perfect follow-up to The Three Little Pigs. Great for challenging assumptions/stereotypes.

This is a cute book, but best for kids who already know the story of the Three Little Pigs. (Mine don't.)

[Jessica Lindeman · Rating 4 out of 5]

A retelling of the three little pigs with a twist. I loved the suspense despite knowing the classic tale. I also enjoyed the illustrations.

I certainly don't trust that wolf!

[Richard · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is yet another reworking of a Big Bad Wolf story. The narrator of the tale is a descendant of the one who preyed on the Three Little Pigs. As with the previous Wolf story, there is some tension about the trustworthiness of this Wolf, just to keep young readers on the edges of their seats. The author illustrates her own work with whimsical drawings.

SUMMARY
Everybody knows the story of the Three Little Pigs, but this story is from the Wolf's point of view. He's invited to the Little Pig's surprise birthday party. The wolf is so excited to go, but all the little pigs were too scared of the wolf. Will the wolf ever make it to the birthday party?

ACTIVITY - for kindergarteners
Students can role play the story after reading it to them. They can be in groups of 3 or 4. Have one student be the wolf and the other students in the group be the little pigs. This activity helps students sequence events and exposes them to creative expression.

Not a bad idea, but something got lost in the execution. The illustrations don't help either.

[Katie Casey · Rating 5 out of 5]

A fun sequel to the classic tale about the 3-little pigs.
