Tell the Truth, B.B. Wolf

Big Bad Wolf's first visit to his local library (as related in Mind Your Manners, B.B. Wolf) was such a success that he returns to tell his version of "The Three Little Pigs." His outrageous spin on the tale draws skeptical remarks from his audience: "Isn't that wolf's nose getting longer?" asks Pinocchio. "It's a cooked-up, half-baked tale," snaps the Gingerbread Boy. And "Tell the truth, B.B. Wolf " squeal the Three Little Pigs. Caught in his own lie, B.B. explains that he is a reformed villain: "Now I'm begging on my knees, Little Pigs, forgive me, please " How B.B. turns his bad old deed into a good new one provides a happy ending to this fun-to-read fractured fairytale.
