Review

This is a by the book retelling of the familiar fairy tale. The very colorful, digitally rendered illustrations with a few slight twists on the original make this version. The wolf is seen driving around in a food truck wearing a chef's hat and carrying a fork. One of the pigs is a girl. Teachers using Lucy Calkins to teach reading and writing are asking for multiple versions of fairy tales, particularly The Three Little Pigs. This will be a good addition to your collection for them.

Overall Book Score: good
