Books like The Three Little Pigs

This rendition of The Three Little Pigs is similar to the original story I grew up knowing, but very different in many ways. First, the first two little pigs are both outsmarted and eaten by the wolf. This is different from the forgiving and gentle story I grew up with where the first and second pig eventually ran to the third pigs house for safety. Secondly, the methods that the wolf uses to attempt in outsmarting the third little pig are different. He tries to arrange meetings to eat turnips or pick from the garden, which the third little pig is smart enough to arrive early at. Unfortunately, when the wolf invites the third little pig to the fair, the pig forgets to leave early and is caught by the wolf. This leads back to the third little pig's home (made of stone) where the wolf tries to catch the pig by climbing down the chimney. The third little pig finally ends the torment by putting a boiling pot under the wolf, which he falls into and is cooked. The illustrations for this Traditional story were bright and detailed. They were very descriptive to help add to the story and I enjoyed the expressions that each character had during different parts to the story.
