The original. I had no idea that the third little pig ate the wolf in the end...where did that come from?

This is a fun take on the old classic story but the ironic humor will definitely be lost on the younger crowd. It's a little macabre, so consider your audience! But, the pictures are great and the story is fun.

This was my favorite version to date that I have read of this story, the illustrations were nice, the linen binding was great and the rendition of the folktale was great. The boys laughed and love this one too.

I originally wrote: “Neo liked this classic, but eating pigs is too violent for kids to read.”
Re-reading this story, the reader learns of the classic tale surrounding the three little pigs. They are all sent on their way to lay the groundwork for their future. After the first two pigs fall victim to a hungry wolf, the third locks down a stable dwelling and dodges many tricks before turning the tables on the wolf in the end. I had forgotten how graphic the original story was, compared to the watered-down classics I have read more recently. Neo did not seem to blink an eye, but it is surely quite a bloodthirsty piece to offer young minds. Of course, we will forge ahead, but I will make sure Neo knows these are not real.

The illustrations were lovely, and the story is well known. You've got to admire the wolf's persistence, but the foolishness of the first pig's house still makes me shake my head.
