(1). What did you like or dislike about the book?
I liked that this book took a different take on a traditional story. It was neat to see that the three pigs came out of the story to create their own. I thought the illustrations helped to show the creative story aspects.

I think my enjoyment in reading the classic Three Pigs story made this story enjoyable. I like that the animals still defeated the big bad wolf.

(3). How would you compare this book to another book or books, or book or books by same author?
This book is very comparable to the three pigs book, but it changes the ending to the story. It is a very creative take on the traditional story.

(4). What new thing (information or insight) did you learn about children's literature in reading this book?
I learned that old stories can be made new in a creative way.
