We all think we know the traditional story of the three little pigs right? These sweet innocent pigs were terrorized by the "big bad wolf". To be fair though no one has ever heard the wolfs side of the story. This book is his side of the story and right or wrong at least we are getting to know how he saw things, even if he is writing it from prison.
The book starts with Alexander T. Wolf saying that he was framed and the rest of the book is essentially his side of the story and to be honest I almost believe him. I almost get the sense that he really was just a sick little old wolf who just wanted to make a cake for his sweet old grandma and these pigs were completely out of line and rude. It ends with a picture of him in jail asking you the same question he was trying to ask the pigs.
-Spelling and grammar this book gets a 5. Proper puncuation, no misspelled words, and everything appears to flow really nicely.
-Illustrations are given a 4. They are mostly bland colors that don't pop. However they are very well drawn and animated.
-Uniqueness gets a full 5. I love a good modern spin on classics and this one was well done.
-Plot gets a 4 but only because it was not an original thought. The idea is of course borrowed from the three little pigs but changed to a different point of view.
-Cover design gets a 4 as again it is fairly bland. It looks like a newspaper article though so it is a bit more eye catching than the rest of the book.
-Ability to connect with children gets a 4. Anyone who is familiar with the story of the three little pigs will immediately recognize this story and might be shying away from the wolf but "Al" does a good job of bringing you back to his side.
-With it's charm and unique appeal I would give this book an overall rating of 4.3 and it comes with my daughters special recommendation.
