Críticas:

""A talented team ingeniously up-ends the classic tale of the three little pigs, and the laugh-out-loud results begin with the opening illustration--a mother wolf lounges in bed, her hair in curlers and her toenails freshly polished, with her three fluffy, cuddly offspring gathered round....In his English-language debut, Trivizas laces the text with funny, clever touches, from an ensemble of animals who obligingly donate whatever building materials the wolves require, to the wolves'penultimate, armor-plated residence replete with a 'video entrance phone' over which the pig can relay his formulaic threats. Oxenbury's watercolors capture the story's broad humor and add a wealth of supplementary details, with exquisite renderings of the wolves' comic temerity and the pig's bellicose stances. Among the wittiest fractured fairytales around."

Reseña del editor:

It was time for the Three Little Wolves to go out into the world, so they set off and built themselves a splendid brick house. But they hadn't figured that the Big Bad Pig would come along...Translated into 15 languages, and with more than 500,000 copies sold, this hilarious retelling of the three little pigs became the talk of the children's book world when published in 1993. Among its many awards were "BOOKLIST's Editors' Choice, "SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL's Best Books of the Year, American Library Association Notable Book, nominations for the Arizona, Indiana, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee State book awards, and the list goes on. Eugene Trivizas is one of Greece's foremost writers for children. Helen Oxenbury, one of the world's best-loved illustrators, is a two-time winner of the prestigious Kate Greenaway award for illustration, most recently for her retelling of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
