The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs by Jon Scieszka

It was one of the 'Top 100 Picture Books' of all time in a 2012 poll by School Library Journal. At the end, the wolf suggests that maybe the reader would loan him a cup of sugar.īased on a 2007 online poll, the National Education Association listed the book as one of its 'Teachers' Top 100 Books for Children'.
