Having bought other stories in the same series, I got the Three little Pigs in the Keepsake Classic series as well and I am not disappointed. I like the illustrations alot and the fact that the wolf is kinda drawn in a goofy, non-scary way. I think it is a really good version.....the only thing I found odd were the first 2 pages where the 3 pigs go out on their own...there is no explanation exactly what they mean but there is a picture of what looks like their parents saying good bye and waving a hankie ..I am sure this is to explain why exactly these 3 pigs even NEED to make a house each.... but it doesn't really cut it.....My 3 year old asked me WHY they had to go away and leave their Mommy and I said " Cuz they are all grown up"....I don't know - I guess what I am trying to say is that maybe the story line could have explained this alittle better to go with the illustration...saying something about 3 little pigs who grew up to be big and strong and one day decided to make houses all their very own...I know its a kids book but still I found the first 2 pages kinda lame...a couple more sentences would have sufficed to exaplin exactly why all of asudden these three pigs were walking away joyfully from their parents who seem sad and are waving hankies...KWIM?
Other then that, I thought it was very nicely done.....

This is a good book if you want the traditional story of the "The Three Little Pigs". Pictures are clear and story has the traditional wording. So, if you want the traditional story, this is the book to purchase.

Nice retelling of a classic with updated illustrations. This rendition tells the story like the original. Often I've found that "modern or updated" versions lose much of things we loved from the "old" stories as children. The illustrations are updated and clever. When the wolf blows down the houses the pigs hold onto the edge of the page. Also, each of the pigs has a little helper. There are little embedded details in the illustrations that are a delight for toddlers to discover. A must have for the toddler library.

I wish I had bought the new one
I really wanted this book for my home daycare. I am so disappointed to see the shape it was in when it arrived. The book is missing some of the binding. It looks very old!
