Product Description
"Open up, Pork Chop! Or I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll flatten this dump!"Three little pigs are happily working away in their delicious family business -- making the best-tasting waffles in the world. Business is so good, in fact, that the three siblings can live comfortably in their very own homes -- Percy in his straw bungalow, Pete in his log cabin, and Prudence in her brick cottage. Then Tempesto, the meanest wolf on the block, shows up and wants more than waffles for breakfast -- he wants the three little pigs! Here is a zany retelling of a classic folktale from master storyteller Steven Kellogg.

• Perfect For Teaching "point Of View" In Literature 05 September, 2007
Teaming The Three Little Pigs with the same story as told by the Wolf is the perfect way to introduce point of view.

• Funniest, Most Creative "three Little Pigs" Book! 31 March, 2008
Don't listen to the reviewer who says that this book is violent! The most "violent" detail in the book is how the three little pigs "steam the meanness" out of the wolf using their gigantic waffle maker. Steven Kellogg spins this story with great creativity, and adds tons of hilarious details in his pictures. It is not only fun for adults to read, but the 4-year-old I read it to also loves it more than any other book I own. We enjoy looking for things we've never caught before each time we read it. This is my FAVORITE version of the story of the three little pigs, and probably the most non-violent!

• Wonderfully Done! 02 August, 2002
I've read and reviewed most of the basic tellings of "The Three Little Pigs", as well as most of the variants. Here's my take on it.This is quite possibly the best telling of "The Three Little Pigs" out there. Although it more or less follows the traditional storyline, it expands it greatly, having the mama pig start a waffle business, making the house of sticks a more believable log cabin, and giving all the characters names and personalities. Humor abounds, particularly in the artwork, such as "Pablo Pigcasso" and a "peopley" bank. It's subtle and may take you a frew readings to notice. Very good, nice twist at the end.

• Great Book 11 March, 2003
Once there was a mother Serafina Snow, she had 3 piglets, Percy, Pete, and Prudence. One day Serafina had a brilliant idea to start a waffle making business. Soon her piglets were enrolled at school, played basketball, and were involved in plays. When they grew up the waffle business was handed over to them. Each of them built a house; Percy built a straw house, Pete built a log cabin, and Prudence made his cottage out of bricks. One day they met a wolf named Tempesto who didn�t want waffles but wanted to eat them! The wolf knocked down Percy, and Pete�s houses and moved on to Prudence�s. The three pigs bombarded him with watermelons, pumpkins, cantaloupes, grapes, and pastries. This caught Tempesto by surprise and he was knocked down. The wolf entered down the chimney but was soon turned into a waffle. In the end Percy, Pete, and Prudence married and had kids. I enjoyed this book because it gave a new idea to the story of the Three Little Pigs, it kinda jazzed it up a little and made it a little more interesting.
