This book is fantastic as it takes the normal story of the Three Little Pigs and gives it a twist. You hear the story from the Wolf's side and how he was imprisoned wrongly when all he wanted was a cup of sugar for his grandmother's birthday cake. My favourite character is the protagonist because he has such a charm about him. If you like something than the norm then this is for you.

Nice and classic story

I enjoyed it because of how it flips the perspective on fairytales. It gives us an alternate point of view of the story of the Three Little Pigs. The Wolf was entertaining, and had some dry wit to him. I would recommend this to others.

Very nice story its a classic

This is the story of the big, bad wolf from the 3 little pigs story.
Here the wolf is a well spoken and well dressed wolf who wanted to make a cake for his Granny but had ran out of sugar. The wolf had a cold. He knocked on the door of the three little pigs but sneezed their houses down.
The books ends with the wolf getting arrested and a newspaper report being written about him being big and bad. The wolf wishes to retell the story from his point of view and so would be a good opportunity for the children to write a newspaper report from his side.

Really funny! Gave it to my little brother to read!

An excellent twist to the much loved fairy tale. This book leads to an insightful discussion of the Wolf's perspective, his motives and his integrity! This book will definitely support creative writing in a young audience.

Good because i love how it says the pigs were AKA the wolf and the wolf AKA the pigs

What a read! It’s great to turn a classic on its head and see it from another perspective especially the perspective of the wolf. It is laugh out loud hilarious. By the end, I loved the wolf and was disgusted by the 3 rude pigs.

It was very good because I like the i turns and the story about the sugar was a nice touch. The wolf is my favourite person because he was telling the story and I really love sugar!

i liked this book. the 3 little pigs had to build their own houses. one built one of strawm another built theres of sticks and the 3rd one built theirs with bricks. they got chased by the big bad wolf who wanted to eat them all up. he sadi to them to open up and let him in or he will blow their houses down. he blew down two of their houses but they ran away to the 3rd pigs house made of brick where they all hid. the wolf couldnt get to them so he tried climbing down the chimney but the three little pigs chcuked boiling water on him and he died

It's very good although it is very hard to believe the story when the pigs did no harm - except being mean to the wolf but they were probably just scared. My favourite character is the granny as she didn't do anything wrong. I would recommend this to people who've read the Three Little Pigs so they can hear the other side of the story.
