Items related to 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.

About the Author:
Judy Sierra, who holds a Ph.D. in folklore, puts a hilarious new spin on some of the most familiar storybook characters in her two books starring B.B. Wolf. She is the author of other highly acclaimed picture books such as Wild About Books, a New York Times #1 Bestseller, Born to Read, and The Sleepy Little Alphabet.
J. Otto Seibold was one of the first children’s book illustrators to master the art of drawing on a computer with his Mr. Lunch books and the Christmas bestseller Olive, the Other Reindeer. His retired and reformed Big Bad Wolf, first seen in Mind Your Manners, B.B. Wolf, is winning him legions of new fans.
From School Library Journal:
J. Otto Seibold was one of the first children’s book illustrators to master the art of drawing on a computer with his Mr. Lunch books and the Christmas bestseller Olive, the Other Reindeer. His retired and reformed Big Bad Wolf, first seen in Mind Your Manners, B.B. Wolf, is winning him legions of new fans.
PreSchool-Grade 3 This brilliant retelling deserves a place at the head of the fractured-fairy-tale pack next to Jon Scieszka's The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs (Puffin, 1995). Following Mind Your Manners, B.B. Wolf (Knopf, 2007), the notorious Big Bad Wolf and other fairy-tale characters of ill repute are hard at work fixing up the Villain Villa Senior Center when Wolf's cell phone rings and the local librarian invites him to tell the story of how he met the three pigs. Ashamed of his prior transgressions, Wolf tells a gentler version involving blowing on dandelions and saving pigs from matches. Heckling from the pigs in the audience finally prompts this reformed Wolf to ask for their forgiveness. His transformation is not complete without a new middle name, though (provided by the library's dictionary), and a fitting act of reparation. Musical segments send an already madcap narrative over-the-top. Seibold's vivid computer illustrations, replete with comic touches, are a perfect match for Sierra's zany tale. Reluctant readers familiar with the bold imagery and comic timing of after-school cartoons will be glued to this inspired collaboration. Jayne Damron, Farmington Community Library, MI
