It's a charming read that both kids and adults can enjoy together ( )

Será que a história dos três porquinhos ocorreu daquele jeito mesmo? Dando a palavra ao lobo, que naturalmente narra os acontecimentos do seu ponto de vista, Jon Scieszka consegue reforçar a "veracidade" da história original, contar uma história nova e engraçada e dar às crianças a oportunidade para demonstrar que compreendem muito bem as coisas.

The wolf tells the story.

This is a well-loved and awarded book, but somehow I just read it for the first time. This is a “fractured fairy tale” that re-tells the story of the Three Little Pigs from the perspective of the wolf. According to Alexander Wolf, no one has heard his side of tale, which has been a huge injustice and wrongly gave him a “Big Bad Wolf” reputation. He only blew the houses down because he had a bad cold and needed to visit the neighbor pigs because he ran out of sugar and wanted to finish a cake for his grandmother. Who is the real antagonist in this story? Not sure anymore. Funny and enjoyable for all ages.
