I love these two books I picked up at the BOGO Scholastic Book Fair!
The Three Little Superpigs tells the story of what happened after the the pigs defeated the Big Bad Wolf. In this story, the Three Little Superpigs are enjoying their new found fame and life of fighting crime around Fairyland. Little do they know, the Big Bad Wolf has been plotting his revenge. After the Big Bad Wolf escapes from Happily Never After Prison, he goes after the Superpigs. Will he catch the Superpigs once and for all, or will the Superpigs outsmart him all over again?
The Three Little Superpigs: Once Upon a Time tells a more traditional, yet slightly varied version of the original fairy tale. This one would be perfect for comparing and contrasting two versions of The Three Little Pigs!
You can find both of these books on Amazon (affiliate links):
