This version of the three little pigs has the STUPIDEST placement of illustrations -- there's no picture of the straw house, five pages worth of pictures of a part of the story I have never even heard of before, no picture of the two pigs running to their brother's house, no picture of the wolf blowing down the straw house, NO picture of huffing or puffing at all. My three year old keeps asking me what the straw house looks like, or what a kettle of boiling water is. The illustrations themselves are attractive enough -- the selections of which scenes to illustrate is downright moronic and frustrates me every time I attempt to read it again.

Three Little Pigs by Myriah Rangel December 13, 2005

This book is about three little pigs, they are all brothers. They all have to make houses, but two of the brothers are lazy. The first brother makes his house out of straw, the second out of twigs, but the third little pig was smart and made it out of bricks. The big bad wolf, blew the first two houses in. When he got to the third house he couldn't blow it, so he tried going through the chimney and landed in a boiling pot of water. He ran into the woods, and the three little pigs never saw him again.

The Three Little Pigs March 8, 2006

This is the latest addition to the "Little Golden Book" collection that I have purchased for my twin grandchildren. They totally loved the story. We have almost read the print off the pages and still they continue to ask me to read it again. They cheer for the little pig in the brick house and enjoy singing the "Big Bad Wolf" song. They look on the back cover of the book and "remind" me which "Golden Books" we are missing and need to add to our library.

These are the same stories that I read to my children that helped encourage their love of reading. I am very happy that "Little Goldne Books" have continued to be publiched through the years.

Silly, Sanitized Disney Version of the Real Story June 24, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

Disney always manages to turn meaningful literature into vanilla pap. In this version of the story, a "novelized" version of the Disney cartoon, the pigs are all "males", all survive the wolf's predations and the wolf escapes with only a mere scalding of his hairy hindquarters when he tries to come down the chimney into the brick house of "Practical" Pig. BORING!

Now, in the original version of the story, the pigs are all females, they don't wear white gloves and have three fingers, the first two pigs wind up in the wolf's stomach, and the last, smartest pig runs the wolf ragged by turning his efforts to lure the pig out of her house into several humorous and stinging humiliations. In the original version, the wolf meets his end in the pig's pot and rough justice is served.

Do yourself and your kids a favor - buy the Rabbit Ears audio CD of Holly Hunter narrating the original version. Told in her molasses drawl, she gives the pig a hilarious Long Island accent, and the wolf sounds like a native of South Bayonne. Although she takes a few liberties with the dialog (Wolf to Third Pig: "I'll bite you so hard it'll hurt your parents!!!"), it's a more faithful rendering of the story as it was meant to be told.

I downloaded the Three Little Pigs movie from iTunes onto my computer. It's the original Disney from the 30s! My granddaughter loves it. This book matches the movie perfectly! Now we watch the movie for motivation and then we read the book. Great match.
