You may think you know the whole story, but Al wants you to know what really happened. The True Story of the Three Little Pigs is written by the Wolf, who tells the reader, he doesn't know where the whole Big Bad Wolf thing came from. He was simply trying to make a cake for his dear old granny's birthday, and ran out of sugar. It's not his fault that his neighbors were pigs and he happened to have a cold that day. It's also not his fault that his great sneezes happened to blow down their houses. I mean, who builds houses of straw and sticks anyway?
This story is one of my absolute favorites when it comes to fractured fairy tales. It's a huge hit with kids as well. It addresses a story we all know well (or as the Wolf would say, we think we know well) and shows us a new side. It tells us something we never would have expected and does it in a funny, enjoyable way. The Wolf has a sarcastic sense of humor that makes the story an enjoyable read aloud for any age!
