5.0 out of 5 stars Is the wolf really innocent?, June 2, 2001

A Kid's Review

This review is from: La Verdadera Historia De Los Tres Cerditos! (The True Story Of The Three Little Pigs) (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition) (Spanish Edition) (School & Library Binding)

This cleverly written and illustrated picture book gives the wolf's version of events to the classic nursery rhyme. The wolf vehemently proclaims his innocence and evokes reader sympathy as he relays his story, oblivious to the bunny ears in htis cake mixture or the rat body parts hanging from his cheesburger. The wolf says one thing, while the illustrations say another. The traditional rhyme of 'The Three Little Pigs' is retold in a conversational and contemporary style that has an underlying tone of misguided innocence. The story assumes prior knowledge of 'The Three Little Pigs' and 'Little Red Riding Hood' and mixes traditional tales with contemporary visuals. This books us suitable for children aged 3-8yrs, although readers of any age would enjoy the humerous twist the wolf tries to give the story. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, its illustrations were humerous and afterall, innocent before proven guilty. Right? Perhaps he's not such a big bad wolf afterall, just misunderstood.
