|summary=Most children are very familiar with all of the well known traditional tales and can probably name the characters in most of them. Have you ever wondered what these stories would be like if the characters could wonder freely from one story to another? Would it just cause mayhem or could is possibly open up a whole new world of new stories?

I think that the problem was that my daughter was expecting a traditional tale and this book was a bit too abstract for her. She did get the idea, but I think she likes her stories to be a bit more straightforward. So, although in many ways this is a delightful and extremely clever book, it was also disappointing for her and not one that she wants to read again. It is the sort of book that either children will 'get' or they won't. Unfortunately, in our case, mine didn't.
You could also take a look at [[The Four Little Pigs by Kimara Nye and Marcin Bruchnalski]], another twist on this traditional tale. We think you'll also like [[This Little Piggy Went Dancing by Margaret Wild and Deborah Niland]].
