“With wit and a modern-day sassiness, Sharon Ulett brings the three little pigs to city children in her clever tale, The Three Little Urban Pigs. Modern day city kids will delight in the personalities of her three little pigs, from an aspiring rapper who is headstrong, to Jaleel, the earnest and polite little pig.  Ulett clearly understands the dialogue and humor that appeals to a wide-range of urban students—imagine a wolf with a leaf blower! She crafts her story to build a bridge from classic tales to modern sensibilities. Students will relate to the classic moral and enjoy comparing the characters and problems with the traditional tale.  As an educator, a mother, and a grandmother, Ulett brings a wealth of real-life experience to her stories for modern urban children, and she knows how to sprinkle a good story with lots of tasty bits of humor.”
