We seem to have had quite a few modern day takes on traditional fairy tales recently. Over the past 8 years i’ve come to realise that trends in children’s publishing are quite circular. From an adults perspective its quite interesting as there is an organic production of stories which means that quite fortuitously you can theme your children’s books and activities nicely and quite easily.

The Three Ninja Pigs is a genius idea and not one i’d have ever thought of, but so appealing to this audience. My four year old really enjoyed the story and I could see the seven year old’s brain ticking away as we read. Clearly she was inspired to think of some other takes on her favourite fairytale characters.

With its bright, colourful, energetic illustrations and the clever weaving of fairytales into the story The Three Ninja Pigs is a very amusing read for adults and children.
