Wolf from the pig penitentiary where he's doing time for his alleged crimes of 10 years ago. Here is the "real" story of the three little pigs whose houses are huffed and puffed to smithereens... from the wolf's perspective. This poor, much maligned wolf has gotten a bad rap. He just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, with a sneezy cold, innocently trying to borrow a cup of sugar to make his granny a cake. Is it his fault those ham dinners--rather, pigs--build such flimsy homes? Sheesh.<p> This 10th-anniversary edition of Jon Scieszka's New York Times Best Book of the Year, <I>The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs!</I>, includes a special, impassioned letter from prisoner A. Wolf himself and a snappy new jacket by Caldecott Honor artist Lane Smith, whose quirky perspectives still color the illustrations throughout. As with <I>The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales</I>, the collaborators take a classic story and send it through the wisecracker machine, much to the glee of kids young and old.
