Three little pigs, a somewhat bad wolf, sody-pop, chips, hay, mortar, bricks, and some huffing and puffing!
Award-winning author and illustrator Mark Teague tells his humorous version of "The Three Little Pigs" with a zany twist!
Three pigs spend their money on different things: potato chips, sody-pop, and building supplies. It comes as no surprise that a wolf is able to blow down the first two pigs' houses. When the wolf can't blow down the third pig's brick house, everyone comes together and the fun begins. The first two pigs give him potato chips and sody-pop, and the third pig makes everyone a healthy meal. Since only one pig has a house left, the other two pigs and the wolf move in with her. The somewhat bad wolf is no longer hungry.

From Booklist
This fractured version of the familiar nursery tale opens with a farmer and his wife selling their farm, paying their three pigs “for their good work,” and sending them off into the world. While the first two pigs build cheap houses of straw and sticks, the third builds herself a brick house. Huffing and puffing, a hungry wolf comes by and blows down the first two homes, but he hyperventilates and passes out at the third. The three pigs revive him, feed him, and take in their now-amiable adversary. Trading in the original story’s sense of justice for the notion that villainy can be cured by a good meal seems a bit off-track, even for a fractured tale. Still, children will enjoy the humor here, including the wolf’s bemused “I can’t believe that worked!” after he blows the straw house down. Animated with drama and deadpan wit, Teague’s large-scale oil paintings show up very well from a distance, making this a good story-hour choice. Preschool-Grade 1. --Carolyn Phelan

delightful retelling of those Pigs and their Wolf
By Beth E. Williams
I adore Mark Teague. As a children's book lover, a mom and now grandma, I have come to appreciate Teague's lighthearted whimsy, the kind that will light up a little child's eyes and face whenever we sit down to read one of his many books. He always strikes the right note between his trademark jaunty, tongue-in-cheek sense of humor and what on the surface does appear to be a quite sensible story.
The see-saw ride between silly and sensible is fun for both child and reader, and this latest retelling of the Three Little Pigs is a delight. Teague's illustrations are in oil and that provides a complex richness in his color as well as a textural grounding for his scenes, all of which when you think about it are bizarre. That is another part of the see-saw in contrasts, as is the ability to pull a child's viewpoint from one direction to another, as we see them enjoying their basketball mudfest from above then on the next page we see the three pigs, money in hand from the Florida-bound Farmer, scooting off down a long road with the house looming behind them.
These are not small details, the pivot between looking up and looking down on a scene for a child is doubly appealing, they feel like they are moving right along with the characters, especially as we follow the very sensible Pig, who Teague admits is "altogether un-pig-like" in her quest for neither sody-pop or potato chips. Along for the ride, visually, are the Mama Duck and her her three babies, who for no particular stated reason, are in on every double-page spread, much like the little faces on our laps as we read to them.
By the time the Wolf, hungry but only "somewhat bad" arrives on the scene Teague has established the choices each Pig made with their money from the Farmer. He never beats it over the child's head that the houses of sticks or straw were bad choices, after all, who needs a room for the bathtub when a nearby mud puddle is just swell? Nor does Teague have an annoying Pig as the industrious one. Her house, a McMansion in brick, is slowly evolving as her friends in lawn chairs enjoy her efficiency, as they all "had a wonderful time" in the process.
Even once Mr Wolf decides to hit town for food we see his frustration develop not because he is inherently "bad" but reputation being what it is, no one wants a hungry wolf at their door and even Pete's Pizza turns him away. It is at this juncture that the child learns some decisions are better than others, and predictably (well, we know the story already don't we!) when the House of Straw blows over we hear Wolf exclaim, "I can't believe that worked!" This is yet another nice contrast, yes a House of Straw is silly, and yes a Wolf or even a little child, can blow it over, but really, that makes sense doesn't it? Silly and sensible, and like a string the kitten follows so do we.
In the meantime, Pig 1 has dashed off on his scooter, leaving a puzzled Wolf behind. The House of Sticks will be another very poor choice and it too collapses when the Wolf huffs and puffs. Pig 2 with Mama Duck and ducklings in tow, make their getaway. Wolf, is "amazed that works," as he surveys a ruin of sticks, and Sody-Pop bottles.
The Teague charm comes into fullness once we get to that Industrious and Sensible Pig, TV remote in "hand" and her two buddies who just happen to be visiting. It is always a good idea to talk to child about the scenes, especially when so much detail has been added, as we still have Mama Duck and babies, the cat, and a rooster, enjoying the comforts of her very Sensible Home. I have noticed that children do pick up on more of these details than we give them credit for, don't rush a story and don't fret over questions. This is not a race, it is a rare treat to get lost in a book with a child or a class of children.
Quite unlike other versions of our Story in this one the hyperventilating Wolf is "embarrassed," not with his failure to blow the Brick House down but because hunger has made him "not think straight." Another silly juxtaposition, of a Wolf collapsing from effort and the Three Pigs dashing over to feed him Sody-Pop and potato chips once they learn HIS bad choice, with threats to blow their houses away to get to them (ie. "I like Pig, he said, not in a friendly way") is nothing more than an empty tummy.
Fortunately for Wolf he need not chase after the succulent porkers, Sensible Pig has dinner "almost ready"! A happy ending ensues with a lounging Wolf along with the ducklings as they watch Pig about to do a cannonball into the pool, and we finally learn that some choices are better than others. Sensible Pig has a few rules, cleaning up one's room, being "hardly ever bad again," and that sort of thing, but it seen as a great payoff: happy home, happy Pigs, even the Rooster stuck around.
Teague is such a delight, never a missed beat, never out of character, never a bore with heavy-handed messages, he makes his points, as in this version, with an even-handed approach to what is after all a Big Idea: the choices we have in life.
Wonderful, sit down and read this with every little one you know, send one to their school or day-care, to a new parent, give one to yourself. After all, Teague is always a good choice.

Great story and Illustrations!!
By momof2
I LOVE this book. My 6 year old is really hung up on the story of the three little pigs so I loved this humorous and less dark take on it. Both my 3 year old and 6 year old love it. The illustrations by mark Teague are just amazing! He writes with a sense of humor that parents will appreciate when reading this book over and over to their kids!
