Age: Kindergarten-2nd grade
Fractured Fairy Tale

He huffed and he puffed and he blew the house down! "Oh, I can't believe that worked!" said the somewhat bad wolf who was really just irritated that all his favorite restaurants were closed. This is a nice fractured tale that still keeps the structure and repetitious phrases of the original tale but plays on listeners' expectations.

This is a really cute retelling of The Three Little Pigs. I think there's a lesson to be learned about how hunger makes us all "somewhat bad". It's probably the one with the happiest ending of those I've had the pleasure to read.

a really fun, humorous retelling of this story that somehow never seems to get old but keeps being reinvented!

Full of little details to reward careful viewers (a la Mark Teague!)Wonderfully expressive pigs and a wolf that is sure to charm.

Another take on the three little pigs story. Not my favorite.

As always, Mark Teague's illustrations are fantastic, and the story more than lives up to the pictures. Very fun, and will definitely be part of a future storytime.

A retelling of the 3 Little Pigs that sticks closely to the original story, but takes a twist towards the end. Illustrations are fun and the story is too.

Mark Teague does it again! His illustrations are unbelievably cute, and the accompanying story is a funny twist on the classic fairy tale.
