written and illustrated by Jim Harris
1999
9781565543713
A witty, modern re-telling of the three little pigs; this time with dinosaurs who play video-games, lift weights, and drive tractors. The text makes literal references to the original source material and winks at the audience; kind of like the humor in the Shrek films. Lots of inter-textual humor. The artwork is great and the script is funny in a meta way. I'm surprised it was written back in '99. It's very contemporary.
For older readers; second grade and above.
