This book is full of really silly tales and it is very funny. The pictures show just how stinky the cheese is. Year 3 really enjoyed this book.

The True Story of the three little pigs was used greatly within my 1st year drama class at secondary school (Ages 11-12)and they loved it. I used the story as a context to do with stereotypes which lead on to many drama activities involving lawyers defending Mr Wolf, the pig community and witnesses of Mr Wolf. This lead on to a court case and even 't.v shows and documentaries' being created by the pupils to re-build or tarnish Mr Wolf's reputation!! An excellent story which created many meaningful, fun and diverse lessons!!

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.

"Halt! Vile knaves! Prepare to die!"
So this book begins, the first in the Time Warp Trio series. It is a wonderfully entertaining romp of a book.
3 friends are transported back to the time of King Arthur and have to get back to their own time (1990s New York).
This book is EXCELLENT for reading to a class of junior age children: the humour and pace catch them. It is short - so it won't drag on for weeks. It has a definite structure so you can use it for written work ;-)
This is probably the most successful of the series and sets up the pattern of plot for many of the rest.
Overall: good for children aged 7-11 (and their teachers!)

This book is great and can be enjoyed by people who like math and those who don't. I read it to my fifth grade class and we laughed so hard that we had to read other books by Scieszka and Smith. We are true fans and look forward to new releases by the two. P.S. If you liked this book, check out the Time Warp Trio series. You'll love them too!
