Impossible for the pig to bully wolves, or is it?

VERY funny take on an old favorite. Fabulous surprises of wit. Can't wait to read it to my nephew!

Surprisingly humorous and clever. Trivizas plays off the Big Bad Pig's destructive moments with real hilarity--how many times have you seen the term "pneumatic drill" in a picture book?--and the end result is both heart-warming and hopeful. Granted, were one to try, I'm sure one could come up with a pretty interesting interpretation of this story in regards to capitalism, societal needs, mental wellbeing, and who the real wolves/pigs are... but I just read it for the flowers.

fast-paced
The message of this book sucks. If someone harasses you, destroys your work, comes to your home and tries to hurt you, they can just say they've changed and you should just forgive them. No restitution, not even a real apology. Not the message I want for my kids. The author was going for a "change hearts with kindness" thing but it really does not work. There's really no reason for the pig/wolf role reversal other than I think they were hoping to ride on the coattails of books like The Stinky Cheese Man.

A fun fractured fairy tale. The line up of characters are hilarious.

This story offers hope and guidance in our political age of bullies and brute force.

A twist on a Three Little Pigs tale, just flipped. The wolves' houses are more extreme, the Big Bad Pig is pretty determined, and there's a sweet twist at the end.

Great vocabulary, wonderful illustrations, and a great reinterpretation of the 3 little pigs. Loved it.
