The Three Little Aliens and the Big Bad Robot
by Margaret McNamara (Author), Mark Fearing (Illustrator) was released this past September. I haven't seen The Three Little Pigs done quite like this before!
Book description:
GREEP BOINK MEEP! The three little aliens are happily settling into their new homes when the Big Bad Robot flies in to crack and smack and whack their houses down! A chase across the solar system follows in this out-of-this-world version of the classic Three Little Pigs tale. Margaret McNamara (How Many Seeds in a Pumpkin?) and Mark Fearing (The Book that Eats People) have created a humorous and visually stunning story that kids will adore—and that will introduce them to the planets and the solar system. The endpapers even include a labeled diagram of all the planets.
If you look closely at the endpapers, you'll see the houses on the planets.
I've been on the look out for retellings of the 3 little pigs, so great to discover this, this morning. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThis came through my library this morning, so I stopped to read it. It was fantastic! I don't have kids, but I feel like I need to go out and buy this book for when I do...or just for me.
ReplyDeletethe aliens are the green version of the minions of "Despicable Me" :-/
