Folklore #3

The story is separated into 5 different stories, but they are connected. I love how they are done in the graphic novel style. It really makes them fun to read! The first story is The Three Little Pigs. It was just how I remembered it from when I was growing up, but there was a slight twist. The third little pig had to trick the wolf more than once. This took some careful timing on his part. This addition provided more laughs and provided a nice transition to the story The Boy Who Cried Wolf! In this story the sheep talk, but not to the little boy. I loved their side comments. They were hilarious. I also loved when the sheep saved the day!! The next story was Little Red Riding Hood. Little Red was a self absorbed child, who's only interest was in the next red article of clothing she would find! The wold in his red vest and red hat had a nice long talk with her on her way to grannies. I loved how they used the clothing aspect of the story as a way for the wolf to find out where she was heading. It was also nice how they through in a little tale about treating others nicely. It was a cool twist on the story. The forth book is The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing. I have never heard of this story. It was cute though. The wolf found a white run and pretended to be a sheep. A little girl thought he was a poodle though! He tried then to go back to the Sheppard to capture a sheep there, but they did not fall for it. The last story is The Wolf and the Seven Little Goslings. It was very cute! I loved how one of the little Goslings was singing the entire time! It was too cute!
