All\u003cbr\u003ethat huffing and puffing--could one wolf really be so unequivocally evil?\u003cbr\u003eFinally, we get to hear the rest of the story, \"as told to author Jon\u003cbr\u003eScieszka\", straight from the wolf's mouth. As Alexander T. Wolf explains it,\u003cbr\u003ethe whole Big Bad Wolf thing was just a big misunderstanding. Al Wolf was\u003cbr\u003eminding his own business, making his granny a cake, when he realized he was out\u003cbr\u003eof a key ingredient. He innocently went from house to house (one made of straw,\u003cbr\u003eone of sticks and one of bricks) asking to borrow a cup of sugar. Could he help\u003cbr\u003eit if he had a bad cold, causing him to sneeze gigantic, gale-force sneezes?\u003cbr\u003eCould he help it if pigs these days use shabby construction materials? And\u003cbr\u003eafter the pigs had been ever-so-accidentally killed, well, who can blame him\u003cbr\u003efor having a snack?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs with The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales, (another stellar\u003cbr\u003ecollaboration by Scieszka and illustrator Lane Smith), children who know all\u003cbr\u003ethe old stories by heart will delight in reading impudent new versions. Here,\u003cbr\u003eScieszka's text is clever, savvy and pithy, and Smith's stretchy-strange\u003cbr\u003eillustrations complete this funny, irreverent, thoroughly original tale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author\u003cbr\u003eJon Scieszka began to train as a doctor but left to take a course in fiction\u003cbr\u003ewriting at Columbia University and to become a teacher.
