The True Story of The 3 Little Pigs!

This is the story told by the Wolf. He begins the story by saying that the original "Three Little Pigs" was incorrect. He states that the day the little pigs lost their homes, he was making a cake for his grandma. He didn't have sugar, so he went next door to borrow some from the first little pig. The first little pig wouldn't answer the door, and the Wolf was about to leave, when he sneezed. The sneeze caused the house of straw to fall down, and it killed the little pig. He couldn't leave the pig there, so he ate it. He still needed sugar, so he went to the next house, which belonged to the brother. The house was made out of sticks. He knocked on the door, and called to the pig. The pig told him, he was shaving and to go away. The wolf sneezed again, and once again the house fell down killing the pig. The wolf didn't want to leave the pig to spoil, so he ate that one too. He still needed sugar to bake his grandma a cake. He went to the next house, which also belonged to one of the brothers. He knocked at the door, but the pig told him to "Get out of here." He thought that was rude and was about to go home, when he sneezed again. This time the house did not fall down, then the little pig proceeded to insult the wolf's grandmother. The wolf gets mad, and tries to break down the door. The police then arrive with the news cameras. The wolf obviously looked guilty, and he was arrested. The rest is history.

I thought the story was really cute. I laughed outloud several times. The wolf making a cake for his grandma, and needing sugar. It reminds me of little red riding hood, but reversed. The illustrations really added to the story. Lane Smith made the wolf look innocent by adding glasses. He made the pigs look mean,, which adds to the Wolf's innocence.
