"We're Going on a Bear Hunt," "Farmer Duck" 등 베스트셀러 저자이며, 세계에서 가장 사랑받는 어린이 그림책 작가 중 한 명인 Helen Oxenbury의 유머와 기발함이 가득한 책입니다. 국내에는 "아기 늑대 세 마리와 못된 돼지"라는 제목으로 번역서가 출간된 명작 그림책입니다.

유명한 전래 동화인 Three Little Pigs의 내용을 완전히 거꾸로 뒤집은 이 책에서는 늑대들은 약자로, 돼지는 악당으로 등장합니다. 늑대 3형제는 엄마의 유언으로 무서운 돼지로 부터 자신을 지킬 튼튼한 집을 짓습니다. 처음에는 튼튼한 벽돌집을 짓습니다만 못된 돼지는 햄머를 가져와서 집을 때려 부숩니다. 다음에는 콘크리트로 마치 요새와 같이 튼튼한 집을 짓습니다만, 이번에는 돼지가 바위를 깨트릴 수 있는 착암기를 가져와서 집을 다 때려 부숩니다. 간신히 도망을 친 가련한 늑대 3형제는 이번에야 말로 절대로 무너지지 않도록 철판으로 집을 짓고 둘레에는 철조망까지 칩니다만, 무자비한 돼지는 이번에는 다이너마이트를 가져와서 무쇠집까지 부숴 버리네요. 더 이상 튼튼한 집을 지을 수 없게 된 늑대 3형제가 마지막으로 지은 집은, 이번에야 말로 훅 불면 쓰러질 것 같은 집입니다만...

Book Description
It was time for the three little wolves to go out into the world, so off they went and built themselves a splendid brick house. But they hadn't reckoned on the big bad pig who soon came along and knocked their house down.
The little wolves built a stronger house of concrete, in which they were sure to be safe. But that didn't stop the big bad pig, who made short work of it with a pneumatic drill. Even a house made of armor plates could not protect them. It was only a chance encounter with a flamingo bird that solved their dilemma in an entirely unexpected and satisfactory way.
Helen Oxenbury's enchanting watercolor illustrations, full of humorous details and visual excitement, are the perfect accompaniment to this hilarious retelling-in-reverse of the traditional tale.


Publishers Weekly
PW's starred review applauded the "laugh-out-loud results" of this talented team's clever interpretation, calling it "among the wittiest fractured fairy tales around."


School Library Journal
"Once upon a time, there were three cuddly little wolves with soft fur and fluffy tails...." They go out into the world to build a house for themselves only to be menaced by a big bad pig. In a clever switch on the familiar counterparts, these sweet-faced innocents use brick, concrete, and steel constructions, but their nemesis is not called big and bad for nothing. With sledgehammer, pneumatic drill, and dynamite, the pig wrecks each structure. ``Something must be wrong with our building materials,'' the wolves muse. Their final house is build from flowers, insubstantial yet beautiful. It is their lovely scent that causes the pig to change his nasty ways and all live together as friends happily ever after. The text has the repeating situations and phrases from the traditional version. Oxenbury's pastel watercolor illustrations combine the coziness of a nursery tale with tongue-in-cheek humor. They are animated and full of personality. Children familiar with The Three Little Pigs will enjoy the turnabout, the narrow escapes, and the harmonious ending. This may also be used to inspire them to develop their own adaptations of classic tales.


BookList - Ilene Cooper
This fractured fairy tale has a subtle message, adding some heart to what otherwise might have been just a clever piece of storytelling. As the title tells, this is role-reversal time, with three wolf siblings heading out to find some real estate. These wolves are no dumb bunnies, however. They go right for the solid red brick model. But a big, bad piggy comes along, and when huffing and puffing doesn't work, he knocks down the house with a sledgehammer. Similar fates befall the wolves' next homes, one made of stone, the other of reinforced steel. It's only when the wolves build a house of flowers, and the pig stops to smell the lovely scent, that contentious turns contented, and the now very good pig moves in and becomes a roommate. The concepts that beauty can facilitate change and that tenderness works better than toughness won't be lost on kids. Both the art and the text are full of wit, but it's especially Oxenbury's pictures that appeal, as the cover picture of the wolves graciously eating their lunches, with napkins spread on laps, clearly shows.
