Jon Scieszka's The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs is a clever, humorous picture book retelling the classic fairy tale from the wolf's perspective. Through the wolf's defense of his actions, Scieszka explores themes of perspective, bias, and how stories change depending on who's telling them. The book becomes a playful meditation on truth and narrative, showing children that there's always more than one way to tell a story.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Scieszka understood that the best children's books make kids think, and that humor is the perfect vehicle for teaching critical thinking. This book reminds us that every story has multiple sides, and that listening to different perspectives helps us understand the world better.
