spoiler alert submitted by Alliemayzee on August 9, 2014, 8:16am Just so you know (my daughter and I were surprised... guess we are used to the Disney version ;) but the wolf actually eats the little pigs!

Good submitted by lakshmisundarr on August 25, 2014, 12:03am We had the same story with sparrows

good retelling submitted by Sara W on August 29, 2015, 10:32pm You never quite know which details are going to be in the Three Little Pigs story, so there's always a bit of a surprise. I like this retelling, even though the pigs don't just run to safety at each other's houses. It's a longer read, but you get to enjoy the third little pig's craftiness and admire his creative problem solving. This is a more involved story than I recall as a child, and I liked the additional details.

Paul Galdone fairy tales are reliably good submitted by FordAlpha on August 14, 2018, 10:29pm I love Paul Galdone's ink and watercolor illustrations, and his retellings of fairy tales are reliably good, faithful to the originals without being too terrifying. His "Three Little Pigs" may come as a surprise to readers familiar only with Disney and Disney-inflected versions of the story, but the deaths-by-wolf of the first two pigs are handled deftly and matter-of-factly, not dwelt upon. The bulk of the story has to do with the third pig's cleverness in repeatedly outwitting and ultimately defeating the persistent wolf.
