Annotation:-This is a the traditional Japanese background story and telling about the three little pigs. This picture book “Three Ninja Pigs” for young children and it’s in stories in rhyme. Tone is Amusing. Illustration is detailed. It is fun, and witty, and it also rhymes. It has a good message about working hard.  The pigs are tired of the wolf and decide to learn martial arts to finally get rid of him. The first pig studies for two weeks and quits. The second pig makes it through the complete first set of lessons, but the third pig studies for "months" to get ready. Things run their typical course, until the end.This is fractured fairy-tale of the Three Little Pigs. It is fun, and witty, and it also rhymes and has a good message about working hard. 
In this twist on the three Pigs tale, Pig One and Two neglect their ninja school martial arts training and are no match for the wolf, but Pig Three's practice and dedication saves the day. Also in this book includes glossary of Japanese martial arts terms.
