![]() ![]() ![]() While checking out a used bookstore today I saw a copy and picked it up. This was my favorite picture book when I was a kid. What of their tales? What, for example, is the Big Bad Wolf's take on those damnable pigs? What of the villain's though? Does one need to have "sympathy for the devil" as the Rolling Stones might have said. This may seem obvious, we are after all supposed to follow them along their tale… and in most cases we are supposed to sympathize with them. Otherwise, how are they ever going to learn to lie?įor the most part, stories take the hero's point of view. This is one of the books you've gotta have in your library if you're the owner of small children. It's not Alex's fault that he had a cold and sneezed, is it?Īnd he can't help it if some little porker constructs a house that's so shoddy it collapses and kills him, can he?Īnd you can't let a good ham sandwich go to waste, right? ![]() He's such a lying-liar pants, but his excuses are funny.if a tad see-through. Point is, it's an AWESOME story and since I bought it, that made me AWESOME by default. In her defense, it's a skinny little paperback that had probably been lost between 3 bjillion other skinny little paperbacks on the shelves. My daughter saw this on our bookshelf the other day and freaked out (she's 9, so cut her some slack) because she didn't realize we owned it. This is maybe the BEST 3 Little Pigs story out there. ![]()
