| Grade 1–4—Toe-tapping, claw-snapping, and bebopping replace the usual huffing and puffing in this jazzed-up version of the traditional folktale. Porcine siblings Ella, Satch, and Mo have formed a trio that is all the rage with their animal audiences. Their successful musical future is in jeopardy, however, when Wolfie, a self-described "classic fairy-tale villain," decides to exact retribution for his failure to capture their uncles in earlier days. Will the three swingin' pigs win over Wolfie with their sweet music? Fortunately for them, he's a bit of a ham and loves performing. Full of porker-inspired puns and clever repartee, this fast-paced tale has definite appeal. The colorful, cartoonlike acrylic illustrations are a perfect match for the zany, slightly over-the-top story line. Whether used as part of a unit on fractured fairy tales or read independently just for fun, this version will have its audience howling.—Maura Bresnahan, High Plain Elementary School, Andover, MA

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| I was assigned to read a retelling of the three little pigs tale in one of my graduate classes this semester and I found this whilst perusing the aisles at my local library. "The Three Swingin' Pigs" is an excellent example of a fractured fairy tale. Here, the three pigs (two males and a female) are descendants of the pigs in the original tale. They are also musically talented with a penchant for jazzy beats. When the Big Bad Wolf hears about their fame, he is determined to settle an old score by devouring them. Trouble is, Wolfie has a soft spot for good music, and the rest of the story sees how the three little pigs outwit the Big Bad Wolf.
Vicky Rubin's prose has an infectious rhythm to it which makes this a great read-aloud. In addition,the vivid color illustrations by Rhode Montijo lend the three pigs unique characteristics, making them appealing which is nicely contrasted with the mean-looking Wolfie. My kindergartener loved this book when we read it together, tapping our feet to the rhythms in the book! |
