This version of the three little pigs has the STUPIDEST placement of illustrations -- there's no picture of the straw house, five pages worth of pictures of a part of the story I have never even heard of before, no picture of the two pigs running to their brother's house, no picture of the wolf blowing down the straw house, NO picture of huffing or puffing at all. My three year old keeps asking me what the straw house looks like, or what a kettle of boiling water is. The illustrations themselves are attractive enough -- the selections of which scenes to illustrate is downright moronic and frustrates me every time I attempt to read it again.

I downloaded the Three Little Pigs movie from iTunes onto my computer. It's the original Disney from the 30s! My granddaughter loves it. This book matches the movie perfectly! Now we watch the movie for motivation and then we read the book. Great match.

This is the latest addition to the "Little Golden Book" collection that I have purchased for my twin grandchildren. They totally loved the story. We have almost read the print off the pages and still they continue to ask me to read it again. They cheer for the little pig in the brick house and enjoy singing the "Big Bad Wolf" song. They look on the back cover of the book and "remind" me which "Golden Books" we are missing and need to add to our library.
These are the same stories that I read to my children that helped encourage their love of reading. I am very happy that "Little Goldne Books" have continued to be publiched through the years.

This book does not contain very important pictures such as the straw house, the wolf puffing...etc I reccomend it to collectors, because is a very interesting book, but if you are a teacher, and you need it for working, this is not the correct book...

There are many, many other books of higher quality than this book. It serves as a fine nostalgic reminder, but a personal retelling
is probably a better idea.

These books were very cheaply made. The paper was cut longer than the cover and it just looks cheap. The price was cheap though so I guess you get what you pay for.

Disney always manages to turn meaningful literature into vanilla pap. In this version of the story, a "novelized" version of the Disney cartoon, the pigs are all "males", all survive the wolf's depredations and the wolf escapes with only a mere scalding of his hairy hindquarters when he tries to come down the chimney into the brick house of "Practical" Pig. Cute, but BORING!
Now, in the original version of the story, the pigs are all females, they don't wear white gloves and have three fingers, the first two pigs wind up in the wolf's stomach, and the last, smartest pig runs the wolf ragged by turning his efforts to lure the pig out of her house into several humorous and stinging humiliations. In the original version, the wolf meets his end in the pig's pot and rough justice is served.
Do yourself and your kids a favor - buy the Rabbit Ears audio CD of Holly Hunter narrating the original version. Told in her molasses drawl, she gives the last pig a hilarious Long Island accent, and the wolf sounds like a native of South Bayonne. Although Ms. Hunter takes a few liberties with the dialog (For example, Wolf to Third Pig: "I'll bite you so hard it'll hurt your parents!!!"), it's a more faithful rendering of the story as it was meant to be told.

A Kid's Review
How can you go wrong with a classic? The Three Little Pigs is a classic children's story if there ever was one.
Not only will this story connect your child to their history-generations has known and told this story, but there is the underlying lesson of ethics. In today's world doing a job well done, and not just as quick as possible to get on with having fun has went out the window. This book will instill the lesson of a job well done in the end, is more important then being lazy, or trying to hurry off to have fun, at the expense of quality work.
My daughter loves this book! When we went to Story Book Land my daughter didn't want to leave the Little Brick House. She requests this book daily, several times a day. And when we are not reading it, she goes around singing-I built my house of bricks, or Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?.....
I know it was one of my favorite stories as a child, and was a fast favorite of my daughters. I'm sure your child/ren will love it just as much!
Just as a point of reference, my daughter is two years old. So this book is appropriate for even the youngest of children.

Not Bad
I had to use my words to make the story understandable. It was not clear what happened to the wolf because there were not pictures. It's important for children to get a visual. Read more

Not impressed
This book is too wordy and the pictures are outdated. The attention span of young babies is not that high so we just stick with Brown Bear.
