From School Library Journal PreS-K - This is a retelling of the classic tale, with a twist. Three pig sisters are determined not to make the same mistakes of other pigs when they set off on their own. By working together, these little ladies build one strong house and are sure they can outsmart the big, bad wolf. After their sturdy house is built, they lure the wolf to the house by making a delicious soup. After capturing him, the sisters realize that the wolf is just old and hungry. Rather than getting rid of him, they decide to put him to work in the garden and to look after the chickens. They all live happily ever after. The brightly colored and charming illustrations follow this purposeful retelling. VERDICT Despite the didactic prose, this picture book is an appealing addition for lesson planning and sparking classroom discussion. - Mindy Whipple, West Jordan Library, UT
