The Three Little Pigs Review

I just couldn't bear to let a middle school kid give this book an "average customer review" of one star. This book is a side-splitter. Absolutely hysterical. My children were rolling on the floor. Also get Marshall's "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" and "Red Riding Hood" for a set of some of the best retellings ever. Marshall's wry sense of humor makes him a favorite in our home school.

Good Start, Slow Ending - Susan - Berlin, Germany
I really loved the the way the book began. It kept my 2 1/2 year old's attention until after the 3rd Little Pig's stone house. And then the author added a very long away around to end the story. It made no sense to me why they did it that way and my son, who is very good with concentration, loses interest as well as myself. So I have to make up the end of the story myself to keep his attention. Since my son loves the huffing and puffing, he likes to read the beginning. The great beginning, nice photos are worthy of a 3, but too long winded in the end. There are so many versions of this story, I think there could be a better one out there. However, I have no recommendations at this time.



Three Little Pigs, James Marshall - Pamela Austin -
I love James Marshall books. I am a grandma and I collect them for myself. I even read them to my grandchildren. We like the humor. I am charmed by the great illustrations.



Excellent version of a classic story - D. Smith -
This version of The Three Little Pigs is witty, engaging, and easy for younger listeners to follow. The illustrations are also fantastic; fans of James Marshall will not be disappointed. The only flaw to this book, in my mind, is the font. The font is fine for adult readers, but for novice readers just learning how to negotiate books on their own, it is a little distracting and unclear.



every child should read a least one book about the 3 pigs - -
My 2.5 year old loves this book. Now he asks everyone what their house is made of.
