The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs! Written by Jon Scieszka and Illustrated by Lane Smith This version of the three little pigs is told by Alexander T. Wolf. He goes over to the pigs' houses to borrow sugar for his grandmother’s birthday cake. He has a cold and his big sneeze blows the houses down. The pigs die, so he eats them.

The final issue The True Story of the Three Little Pigs brings up is the status of marginalized groups in society. When looking at the illustrations in the text, it becomes clear that Al is living in a society of pigs. Minority groups are often stereotyped, scapegoated, and treated poorly by the other groups in society.
