The Three Little Pigs

By Marie-Louise Gay

Book Overview

Marie-Louise Gay brings her charmingly wacky style to the familiar tale of the three little pigs. Fresh, bright colors and witty figure drawings bring the wolf and pigs to life. Despite the sad ending that befalls two of the pigs and the wolf, it's impossible not to be enchanted with this anything-but-classic rendering of the traditional tale.

"The Three Little Pigs has always been one of my favorite fairy tales. It is a joyful, heart-thrilling story in which children can easily recognize their emotions. They see their own doubt, insecurity, fear and courage in every one of the little pigs and in the big bad wolf himself, which makes the story an empowering tale about growing up and acquiring intelligence and cleverness. And, of course, I've always considered pigs to be lovely, intelligent creatures and a joy to draw."

3 pigs

the book taught me a lot of morals. The book was very interesting and it was easy to read with a lot of good messages. I know that i wont ever mess with another wolf with so much breath again. Why are pigs so mean? He just wanted a place to stay and a warm meal...
