The award-winning author and illustrator of the "New York Times"-bestselling How Do Dinosaurs series tells his humorous version of "The Three Little Pigs" with a zany twist! Full color.

What if the wolf wasnt as bad as you thought? A simple misunderstandingthat is what it is. The wolf wasnt trying to be mean. All he wanted was to be of help to the three little pigs. He might have needed to find a different way to help the three little pigs that didnt frighten them so much to run away from him. He needed to find the right words to express himself that his actions couldnt and find a gentler way to approach the little pigs. The three little pigs could also have been a little more open in befriending the wolf when all he wanted to do was help.

Folktales and fairy tales are living stories; as part of the oral tradition, they change and evolve as they are retold from generation to generation. In the last thirty years, however, revision has become an art form of its own, with tales intentionally revised to achieve humorous effect, send political messages, add different cultural or regional elements, try out new narrative voices, and more. These revisions take all forms, from short stories to novel-length narratives to poems, plays, musicals, films and advertisements. The resulting tales paint the tales from myriad perspectives, using the broad palette of human creativity. This study examines folktale revisions from many angles, drawing on examples primarily from revisions of Western European traditional tales, such as those of the Grimm Brothers and Charles Perrault. Also discussed are new folktales that combine traditional storylines with commentary on modern life. The conclusion considers how revisionists poke fun at and struggle to understand stories that sometimes made little sense to start with.
