The Three Little Pigs by Paul Galdone
4.0
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.
