The Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Book by Lucy Rowland is a unique tale spinning the common fairy tale.

I really loved this book! The rhyming scheme was fun, the illustrations were engaging and the spin on the classic tale was priceless. What if the wolf wasn't the bad guy and instead the book

was? Especially if you want to finish it but you just can't read it (for a variety of reasons!).

I highly recommend this book for a fun, light read that can be sing songy. It's a short read but it's highly engaging and fun.

Three out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Children's Books for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.
