That person is A. Wolf. His tale starts with a birthday cake for his dear old granny, a bad head cold . . . and a bad reputation. It ends in the Big House: the Pig Pen. What really happened when A. Wolf was at the door? Was it an historic pig out or a Mother Goose frame-up? You read it. You decide. Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith combine their talents for droll tales and provocative reporting to bring the true story of this much maligned figure to the public. Big and Bad? Could be. Hilarious?

Fresh take on the Three Liittle Pig's story!
This is my favorite book to give at a baby shower. I combines humor, "common sense" (from the wolf's point of view, at least) and a way to see something from another point of view. Never too young to start them early! LOLVerified purchase: YesCondition: New
