This beautiful Ladybird ebook edition of The Three Little Pigs is a perfect first illustrated introduction to this classic fairy tale for young readers from 3+. The tale is sensitively retold, following the three pigs as they leave their home and venture out into the big bad world, only to meet the big, bad wolf!
Other exciting titles in the Ladybird Tales series include The Little Red Hen, The Three Billy Goats Gruff, Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Goldilocks and the Three Little Pigs, The Gingerbread Man, Hansel and Gretel, Little Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty, Rumpelstiltskin, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Rapunzel, The Magic Porridge Pot, The Enormous Turnip, Puss in Boots, The Elves and the Shoemaker, The Big Pancake, Dick Whittington, The Princess and the Frog, The Princess and the Pea, The Ugly Duckling, Chicken Licken and Beauty and the Beast.
Ladybird Tales are based on the original Ladybird retellings, with beautiful pictures of the kind children like best - full of richness and detail. Children have always loved, and will always remember, these classic fairy tales and sharing them together is an experience to treasure. Ladybird has published fairy tales for over forty-five years, bringing the magic of traditional stories to each new generation of children.
The bold colourful illustrations are immediately engaging and this story can be put to good discussion use for the way in which it illustrates moods and feelings.
—— The School LibrarianThe book is written in rhyme, which always goes down well with the Madhouse Mini-testers, and is great fun to read out loud at bedtime. Each page has a huge, brightly coloured picture that really enhances the text. The characters are all really appealing and the story really caught Pierre's imagination...
I've just noticed on the back of the book that two further stories will be coming soon featuring Billy and Hugo - Billy the Goat's Big Breakfast and Hugo the Hare's Rainy Day - so I'll definitely have to look out for those to complete the collection.
Wonderfully illustrated and simply told.
