Rating: - Wolf reasserts innocence, calls for new trial
Finally, after all this time, Alexander T. Wolf (alias "the Big Bad Wolf") emerges to tell his side of the 3 Little Pigs tragedy. Blaming a publicity-frenzied press for exaggerating the truth of the story, he asserts his innocence, rationalizes the nature of the circumstances, and indulges here and there in the art of blaming the victim.

I bought this book for my niece on the strentgh of online reviews and have had such good feedback fron my sisters family that i am now ordering it for my children.
Rating: - Absolutely fantastic!
This book like Scieszka's others will make even the toughest character snigger! Lots of fun, my god daughter loved it! The writing credits children with the intelligence they have! Brings enjoyment to all. The illustrations are fantastic - buy two copies and frame them.
Rating: - An excellent book for children of all ages to enjoy
Jon Scieszka's "biography" of Al wolf's tru tale of a sneeze and a cup of sugar is an exciting and funny book. Al Wolf tells his tale as a simple misunderstanding and a Wolf that ate 2 pigs because he didn't want to waste any food. This new twist of the original story creates a new story for young kids to enjoy. Al Wolf makes the kids believe that the pigs are evil and that Al shouldn't be considered big and bad because his diet consists of cute fury animals. An excellent picture book for kids to see how the wolf is illustrated as a proper man, and the pigs illustrated as slobs. A must-buy book for all children.
Rating: - I loved the book
I thought this book was the best when I first read it. Im 15 years old and its still one of my favrorite Childrens books. I went shopping with my mom last week in this little store and as soon as I had seen the book on the shelf I got so excited and whipped it out and hit myself in the head with it and no Im not mentally Challenged. I just love the book even at 15!!!
P.S My mom got me the book and fixed the bump on my head.
