You may think you know the story of the Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf--but only one person knows the real story. That person is A. Wolf. His tale starts with a birthday cake for his dear old granny, a bad head cold . . . and a bad reputation. It ends in the Big House: the Pig Pen. What really happened when A. Wolf was at the door? Was it an historic pig out or a Mother Goose frame-up? You read it. You decide.

Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith combine their talents for droll tales and provocative reporting to bring the true story of this much maligned figure to the public. Big and Bad? Could be. Hilarious? Of course.

Author Biography

Jon Scieszka totally failed to spring A. Wolf free with this story, but he did go on to write scads of subversive bestselling books, including The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales. He also founded the literary initiative Guys Read and was appointed the first National Ambassador for Young People's Literature.

Lane Smith and his artwork did not help A. Wolf in his bid for freedom. If anything, that illustration of the dripping cheeseburger set back Mr. Wolf's case. However, he did go on to accept a Carle Honor for Lifetime Achievement, two Caldecott Honor Medals, and four New York Times Best Illustrated Book awards.
