¡La Verdadera Historia De Los Tres Cerditos!

You thought you knew the story of the “The Three Little Pigs”… You thought wrong.  In this Spanish translation of the hysterical and clever fracture fairy tale picture book that twists point of view and perspective, young readers will finally hear the other side of the story of “The Three Little Pigs.” “In this humorous story, Alexander T. Wolf tells his own outlandish version of what really happens during his encounter with the three pigs…. Smith's simplistic and wacky illustrations add to the effectiveness of this fractured fairy tale.”—Children’s Literature Here, Scieszka's text is clever, savvy, and tabloid-quick, and Smith's stretchy-strange illustrations complete this funny, irreverent, thoroughly original tale."--.com

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.

regards from Panama, Central America! I bought this book a little bit nervous about the the fact that it's originally written in English, so I thought i could get lost in translation Or that it would be too regional (for example with mexican slangs). But both my kids (7 and 3 years old) have enjoyed it so much that I have to read it at least twice a week as a bedtime story. My older son enjoys the irony very much and the little one loves the illustrations that are rich and original.Definetely a good addition to any collection!

Little more wear than expected on the used version I bought but great book!
