School Library Journal - 06/01/2019 PreS-Gr 1—One of the pigs from the classic tale is back and he's on a mission to save Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother from being eaten by none other than the usual enemy….the wolf. The pig protagonist journeys through the village to gather items that will assist him with his quest to save Grandma and once again show the wolf who is boss. Throughout the journey, readers are treated to cameos by some other fairy-tale favorites, such as the Emperor ("The Emperor's New Clothes") and Goldilocks. The pig and the granny turn out to be an amazing team and they ward off the big bad wolf and place him in Fairy Tale jail. All of the characters rejoice with a delicious food fight and celebration. Mixed media illustrations accurately represent the characters and paint detail-oriented scenes of the village. Fairy tale characters are strategically placed throughout the scenes and readers will enjoy searching for characters they may know. VERDICT Recommended for general purchase for any collection of fairy tales as this is one of the more enjoyable fractured fairy tales with a little bit of magic sprinkled in the mix.—Kristen Todd-Wurm, Middle Country Public Library, NY - Copyright 2019 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
