As a teacher, I love the fun wordplay and the action-packed twist on the original story. As a feminist, I love that it's Pig Three who saves the day. And as a martial artist, I LOVE the way it highlights the basic tenet of perseverance. Pig Three ultimately triumphs not because she's the most talented, but because she does the hard, daily work that her brothers shun (though I'm sure her Bruce Lee gi doesn't hurt, either! ). I'm definitely buying a copy of this for my chung sah nim.

An update of the Three Little Pigs story with fabulous illustrations (yay Santat!) and hilarious limericks perfect for a read-aloud/storytime. Bonus points for having the sister pig be the best ninja and the hero of the day!

This is an OUTSTANDING fractured fairy tale/adaptation. I love the martial arts informational aspect, I love the girl-power aspect, I love the gentle allusions to the traditional 3 little pigs tale, the rhyme. Super smart, super fun!
