The Three Little Aliens And The Big Bad Robot Summary

The book The Three Little Aliens and the Big Bad Robot is a astrological twist to the original tale of The Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf. In this story, three aliens named Bork, Gork, and Nklxwcyz leave their family home planet due to the population and venture out to live on their own. Before they leave, their mother warns them of the big bad robot that may try to eat them if they don’t stick together. However, then searching for new planets, Bork and Gork are too stubborn to find a place that suits them all; thus they split up. Nklxwcyz, being the only one to think of the well being of both himself AND his siblings, constructs a sound house with many of the things needed to keep the aliens safe. Soon, the big bar robot comes and tries to eat all three of the aliens. Because Bork and Gork were more worried
This is due to the traditional origin of the story, although this version has a definite twist. I would assume that the origin of this book is American, although it is not clearly stated. Firstly, the illustrations are AMAZING. They enhance the story so much. Although a traditional folktale usually does not contain a lot of detail, the pictures definitely make it more interesting for a child. The author also does a great job of laying out the tasks for the aliens to attempt to accomplish. First, they are tasked with finding new places to live. Then it turns out that they have to stick together in order to defeat the big bad robot. The author also payed dues to the original story in a great way by making the characters so similar. Although pigs and aliens are different, they were still made out to be the same type of character which was a real treat. I also loves the homage to the original story by the similarities in the chants said by the wolf in the original story and the robot in this story; “Then I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house down!” compared
