I was so happy to find this. My husband has a keen interest in the US Life Saving Service, and we own and shoot the line-thowing cannons used by the USLSS and on commercial vessels of the period. He had a mug like this, but after years of use, it broke last year. So I gave this to him as part of his birthday present, and he uses it every day. It was exactly as described and pictured, was well-packaged for shipment, and it arrived safely and on time. Happy customer!

    The True Story of Jon Scieszka

    Jon Scieszka (Scieszka, rhymes with Fresca) is my hero, and my cousin. He has taken the publishing world and children's books by storm. We will call him Hurricane Jon. Every book he has had published is a treasure; from his Time Warp Trio to this first book published of the three little pigs and A. Wolf to Seen Art? If you have children, or you are child-like, check out his books. You will not be disappointed. If you love short stories that will make you howl, pick up Guys Write for Guys Read and read his contribution. You will be laughing out loud! The True Story of the Three Little Pigs is told from the wolf's perspective -- he was framed. Don't we all feel that way sometimes. "It's not my fault" seems to be a mantra in today's world. But in this case, it may just be true, as ...

    Makes you wonder what really happened

    This book is hilarious! want to know what really happened to the pigs?? My Husband told me about this book and he tried to buy it from Barnes and Nobel on several occasions and they never had it in. I went to a small local bookstore and wasnt sure of the title so they couldnt even look it up and they had no idea what I was talking about just by a description. That led me to ebay. All I had to do was type in some words that I knew were in the title and I found it within seconds. It was also about $12 cheaper on ebay, and I got it within days.MY kids LOVE this book! So funny.

    The true Story of the 3 Little Pigs by Jon Scieszka

    If you or your children enjoy the story of the three little pigs, this book is a must to read. It is based on the wolf's side of the story The 3 little Pigs, one of my daughters came home from school on day and told be about a book her teacher read to the class, it sounded interesting to me, and since she loves to read so much, I desided to get her the book. There is nothing to dislike about this book, it is full of funny surprises, it keeps kids focused on what is beeing read, all my girls enjoyed hearing it read to them, and reading it themselves. Reading is impotant in a childs life, and they enjoy talking about it after it is read, and telling others about it. I am sure this is one book we will be enjoying tor years to come.

    Great book!!

    This is one of my favorite books. When it first came out I was in grade school and I just loved it. Now that my son is in Kindergarten, I thought I'd share one of the greatest books with him. This book has a different spin on the regular Three Little Pigs story. When you read it you can't help but to feel bad for the BIG BAD WOLF. With the turn of each page you are going nuts to find out what will happen next (or at least my son was). At the end of the book, you think, maybe that's what really happened? You never know. That's why this is such a great book. It makes this story open to interpretation. I highly recommend this book to all.
