An entertaining interstellar take on the Three Little Pigs. (

)

Sullywriter | Apr 3, 2013 |

This is such a cute story! A take on the classic three little pigs, this story is about three little aliens. They leave their too crowded home with a warning to watch out for the big bad robot. The three aliens find three planets too live on. They eventually run into the big bad robot, but escape just in time. This story would be great for a fairy-tale unit! (

My inner nerd loved this creative adaptation of the three little pigs. Instead of pigs the characters are aliens, instead of a big bad wolf there is a big bad robot. The pictures are great and the story reads well. Plus there are all kinds of little space facts hidden into the story. (

GREEP BOINK MEEP! The three little aliens are happily settling into their new homes when the Big Bad Robot flies in to crack and smack and whack their houses down! A chase across the solar system follows in this out-of-this-world version of the classic Three Little Pigs tale. Margaret McNamara (How Many Seeds in a Pumpkin?) and Mark Fearing (The Book that Eats People) have created a humorous and visually stunning story that kids will adore—and that will introduce them to the planets and the solar system. The endpapers even include a labeled diagram of all the planets.

Three aliens set off to find a new planet for themselves but soon Bork and Gork have forgotten all of their mother's good advice and only Nklxwcyz builds a home safe enough to withstand the Big Bad Robot in this story reminiscent of "The Three Little Pigs."… (more)
