    About The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs / La Verdadera Historiade los TresCerditos

    You thought you knew the story of the “The Three Little Pigs”… You thought wrong. 
     
    In this Spanish translation of the hysterical and clever fracture fairy tale picture book that twists point of view and perspective, young readers will finally hear the other side of the story of “The Three Little Pigs.”
     
    “In this humorous story, Alexander T. Wolf tells his own outlandish version of what really happens during his encounter with the three pigs…. Smith’s simplistic and wacky illustrations add to the effectiveness of this fractured fairy tale.”—Children’s Literature
     
    Here, Scieszka’s text is clever, savvy, and tabloid-quick, and Smith’s stretchy-strange illustrations complete this funny, irreverent, thoroughly original tale.”–Amazon.com
