Synopsis
Mother Goose’s fairy tales are NOT based in science, and her great niece Professor Goose thinks it’s time to share the truth. Join Professor Goose as she — literally — travels through the pages of The Three Little Pigs, fact-checking, exposing the flaws and explaining the science. Did you know that pigs run in a zigzag pattern? And that there’s no way a wolf’s breath would be strong enough to blow down anything, even if he has his whole pack with him? And that hay bales are strong enough to resist most up, down and sideways forces? Sounds like the perfect material for building a house! . . . Or, not. But not to worry — Professor Goose is armed with helpful hints on how to make a structure strong enough to withstand hurricane forces!
#MelAndNikkiReview
Professor Goose Debunks The Three Little Pigs by Paulette Bourgeois is a fun and educational picture book that challenges the logic and science of a classic fairy tale. The book follows Professor Goose, a great-niece of Mother Goose, who is determined to expose the flaws and inaccuracies of The Three Little Pigs. Along the way, she learns that there is more to fairy tales than just science, and that sometimes imagination and creativity are just as important.
The book is a clever and humorous way to introduce young readers to STEM topics and critical thinking skills. The author, Paulette Bourgeois, is best known for creating Franklin the Turtle, and she brings the same charm and wit to this new series. The illustrator, Alex G. Griffiths, adds to the fun with his colorful and expressive cartoon drawings. The book also includes a brief history of computer languages and some suggestions for further reading and activities.
Professor Goose Debunks The Three Little Pigs is a delightful and informative book that will appeal to fans of fractured fairy tales and curious minds. It is the second book in the Professor Goose Debunks Fairy Tales series, following Professor Goose Debunks Goldilocks and the Three Bears. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good laugh and a good lesson.
