Bookworm: As a grandmother and a nursery school teacher, i find ''The Three Ninja Pigs'' to be the perfect book for teaching important values while telling a delightful story in delicious rhyme! Interwoven themes of girl power, working hard to get what you want, and family unity make for a delightful read. A must for a young reader's library.

Annabel Melrose: We love this book, our 5 and 6 year olds (girl and boy) enjoy the story and as the parents we appreciate the moral of the story and the perfectly written wording which allows for easy out loud rythmic reading. The illustrations are modern and fun - an all round excellent book. I've since ordered all the others from the same without illustrator duo.

Caroline H: My kids love this book! My 3 year old daughter was scared sick of the "wolf". After seeing the 3 little pigs by disney and reading the little red riding hood, she was terrified of a fictitious wolf that would come to either blow our house down or tie us up. I tried showing her pictures of cute cuddly wolf cubs, we put up signs by the doors that said "wolf not allowed" and even 'called' the zoo to make sure he was still locked up there...but alas my efforts did not calm her fear. This book did the trick! I love that this book illustrates how to get a bully to leave you alone and you don't really have to physically fight to intimidate the bully -- you can be confident and demonstrate that you shouldn't be "messed with". I also like that it's the sister that is able to fend off the wolf once and for all! You go pig girl number 3! We act it out at night, our 2 year old likes to yell, "NAUGHTY WOLF!" each time he sees him. Yea, naughty wolf -- sister's going to give you a pork chop!

Armando N. Roman: One of my daughter's favorite books is The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig. When I read it to her, I noticed how much better it was than the original story of the Three Little Pigs, having a lot more substance to the story and being a very fun book to read. Another one that she enjoys is The True Story of the Three Little Pigs, a classic from when I was around her age. The story of the Three Ninja Pigs here seemed like a winner based on reviews and that it combines two things she likes- different takes on the classic pigs story, and martial arts. When the book arrived and I flipped through it before reading, I was convinced that she was going to love it because of the artwork. The Three Ninja Pigs is yet another fun tribute full of action packed illustrations and great rhymes. I just have a little problem with some of the martial arts-related things, but I'll get to that later.

The Big Bad Wolf in this story goes around blowing down houses, as wolves usually do, and three young pigs have had enough. They go to the ninja school and each one learns a different fighting style. Pig One learns aikido, Pig Two learns jujitsu and Pig Three learns karate. Pig Three, the...

D. Campbell: This book is a fun retelling of the traditional fairy tale. These three pigs, two brothers and a sister have had "enough!" of the wolf and all his huffing and puffing. They decide to head over to the ninja school to each train in one of three different disciplines of martial arts. However, pig one and pig two believe that after just a little practice they are ready to take on the Big Bad Wolf. They discover that they are not nearly as ready as they originally believed.

Pig 3, the sister, is a model of dedicated practice and when her two brothers come running to her house for protection from the wolf, she is ready for him to bring it on! The lesson being, that if one wants to excel at a skill, there is a lot of work and practice involved.

This book could be used to support more than one theme. There's bullying and having to practice to become skilled even if one doesn't feel like it. The artwork consists primarily of brown tones and the characters are drawn with a lot of dramatic expression. There's some clever rhymes but not all of them flow smoothly, a minor criticism.

There's a glossary in the back that gives pronunciations and definitions of the martial...
