Reading Level Q · Lexile AD570L · ATOS 3.0

Alexander T. Wolf says nobody has ever heard his side of the story of the Three Little Pigs, so he tells it himself: he is making a birthday cake for his dear old granny, he has a terrible sneezing cold, and he runs out of sugar. He walks down the street to ask his neighbor, a pig in a house of straw, for a cup of sugar, then tries the pig's brother in a house of sticks, and at each house a great sneeze comes on and the house falls down. A funny fractured fairy tale about point of view that has readers asking whether the wolf can be trusted.
