I cannot say enough good things about the "First Favourite Tales" series of fairy tale books from Ladybird. My 2 year old daughter has every single one of them... and "The Three Little Pigs" was the first one that we bought. The pictures are delightful, and every tale has been written in a way that rolls off your tongue when read out loud. My daughter was soon joining in with some of the catchphrases... "I'll huff and I'll puff".... We have now bought the entire range, and we go through each one every night before bedtime. Be warned, some of the stories have been made a little lighter from the way that you remember them... For instance, the Giant in Jack in the Beanstalk doesn't "grind his bones to make my bread"... But, if I were you... I wouldn't just buy one of these. Save yourself extra trips to the internet/shops... and go ahead and buy the whole series straight away. If you only want a few... our favourites are "The Three Little Pigs", "Red Riding Hood", "The Gingerbread Man" and "The Magic Porrige Pot".

These little books are very good value as children want to hear them over and over again. These traditional tales are much better than modern stories and children need to know all these tales as they are used in primary schools in the National Curriculum. They seem to have preserved the original 1960's text with the essential repetition of key phrases which even small children can soon learn to join in with. The best thing is that there is usually something a little scary in these stories or a problem to be solved which really fires children's imaginations unlike some of the very dull, tame story books I have seen on sale recently. Even when children know the ending, they still want to hear the story again and again just to make sure everything ends happily!

This book for young children has hidden depths. It is a child's first introduction to Building Regulations. Two gorgeous little piggies build houses out of inferior materials (straw and sticks respectively). The Planning Department are notified and send round an inspector in the form of a big bad wolf. He not only demolishes the buildings, but also eats the poor little piggies for his lunch. (try explaining THAT to your children!) The third little piggy, apparantly oblivious of the death of his brothers/sisters, pushes the boundaries of science and builds his house from bricks. The planning inspector, after many attempts to gain entry by the normal methods, is forced to enter via the chimney. Shock, horror, the third little piggie is waiting for him and, fearing a rejection of planning permission, catches the inspector (wolf) and boils him alive in a vat of boiling water. (try explaining THAT to your children!) Amazingly no court case ensues, the third little pig is never charged with murder or made aware of the death of his siblings and lives happily ever after!
Seriously, a great little book by Ladybird, well illustrated and well worth the money. My two year old granddaughter loves it being read to her, particularly the 'Huffs' and the 'Puffs'! Highly recommended.
