"Zemach serves up a delicious edition of the old tale...The well-cadenced prose minces no words...Artwork [is] as direct, immediate, and captivating as the folktale itself." --Starred, Booklist
"True to her style, Zemach uses distinctive wispy watercolor strokes to illustrate the story. In this version, the pigs get eaten and stay that way; and after the wolf tries to trick the third pig (with turnips, apples, and the fair), he is cooked in a pot of soup." -- School Library Journal
