La verdadera historia de los tres cerditos

Praise for La verdadera historia de los tres cerditos…

“In this humorous story, Alexander T. Wolf tells his own outlandish version of what really happens during his encounter with the three pigs…. Smith’s simplistic and wacky illustrations add to the effectiveness of this fractured fairy tale.”—Children’s Literature

“Older kids (and adults) will find very funny.”—School Library Journal

“Here, Scieszka’s text is clever, savvy, and tabloid-quick, and Smith’s stretchy-strange illustrations complete this funny, irreverent, thoroughly original tale.”–Amazon.com
