What a cute concept for a children's book! We all know that Mother Goose tales aren't based in facts or science. But professor goose is all business and he is here in the fun filled STEM picture book to set the record straight.

It's definitely a unique and fun take on a classic. It would probably be wonderful older children who love fairly tales but may have started to outgrow them.

I loved this book! I was drawn to it initially because of the fractured fairy tale element. This twist weaves another level of STEM knowledge to the story. It's filled with all sorts of facts ranging from silly facts like "only humans have chins" to an explanation of coding. Kids will be so busy laughing over Professor Goose's silly antics that they won't even realize they're learning.

Professor Goose uses science to examine some of the tales of her ancestor Mother Goose. the science is interesting as well as the dismantling of that suspension of disbelief so needed in these type of tales. This book (and others in the series) would be excellent guides to questioning what you read and using research and fact checking.

I really want to like this book, but it is extremely long. Professor goose is apparently the great grandson of mother goose, and he insists she did not do enough research on her tales. He even reads the three little pigs and tell use one what is wrong. As a professor, he brings up interesting side trivia that kids may find interesting, but it extends the story so far one is constantly wanting the end. This is a neat idea and I think it would make a fantastic project around second or third grade but in general not a picture book to grab for a quick fun week.

This was super cute and informative.

I can’t wait to read it with my son. He loves stories like this and will love it even more because of the fact checks.

This book is a great way to inspire curiosity with younger children and adults alike.

I wish I had a copy right now to read with my son because I know he’d love to read it to me.

This is sort of fun, but I’m not sure who the audience is. It’s all about taking the popular story and poking scientific holes in it. Yes, wolves are pack animals, and no, a single wolf blowing couldn’t take out an entire structure of any kind (even if straw isn’t great house-building material). I think littles would get bored halfway through, but I’m not sure it would appeal to older kids either. Probably more of a candidate for early readers than picture books. Hmmm.

This is such a fun spin! It takes the fairy tale and remains fun, but incorporates a lot of fun facts. This is great for older picture book readers!

This book can be used for so many things! There are slightly too may words for a story time book, but it is great for a lesson in school or a longer bed time!

This book is full of fun random facts. My three-year-old does really enjoy the Franklin series that the author wrote and “The Three Little Pigs,” but the fractured fairy tales books are a bit too old for them to enjoy fully. This story is best suited for children who are in Kindergarten to about grade 4. This book is a good way for children to think about things in a different way and to look at whether events in a story would be realistic or not. This book is a good way to start teaching children that you always need to think critically and cannot take everything you hear at face value. This book is a good addition to any classroom or public library.

Thank you to Penguin Random House Canada, Tundra Books and NetGalley or providing me with a free electronic copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

A great book for kids who may have outgrown the original story. I loved the fresh new take on the classic children's story. The analytical way in which the Goose tore apart the inpracticalities of the original was fun. I always appreciate when a story pushes kids to take a more analytical approach to things. This not only provideds an enjoyable read, but can also be used when teaching different things to children. The story goes into detail and provides examples for structures, weather conditions, and coding among others. This book is a good option for kids that like to question everything.

Thank you to NetGalley for the chance to read this book virtually.

In this cute story Professor Goose discusses how science was not used when the Three Little Pigs story was created. The story is told page by page, but there are sidebars that give the scientific facts needed to better understand what is debunked. STEM connections for this title are easy to make.

I was so very entertained with this book! I will certainly use it and likely the rest of them for my class projects this year.

This was a fun new and unexpected take on the classic story of 3 Little Pigs. This story was packed full of fun science and knowledge about the story. Things mother goose didn’t think of. It was a thought provoking story on a classic tale that really engages the readers.
Great for elementary kids and to share in the classroom.

Lovely and colorful illustrations, characters and plot idea! I felt that there was too much going on on each page, not completely sectioned off correctly for my brain to process. I do love the defending of pigs 🐷 though!

Thanks NetGalley, Penguin Random House Canada and Tundra Books for this arc!!

5/5 stars!

This was such cute and informative book. I loved how it's not only fun, but teaching kids how to be critical thinkers and to research things before believing them. I've ordered it for my store already!

I received this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Both my daughter and I are a big fan of the Professor Goose Debunk series. They are imaginative, witty and puts a fresh spin of the classic stories we all know and love.

It not only entertains and also encourages kids to explore alternative perspectives and not be easily swayed by popular beliefs.

This book was funny, cute, and a great read. I could definitely see my patrons loving this book. It's a twist on a classic tale and I love that element!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic copy to read in exchange for an honest review.

This was such fun book! I love how so,etching familiar is taken and looked at through a STEM/STEAM lens. I can see using this book as an introduction to a variety of science and math lessons. I recommend this for grades 3 and up.

I read this with my kids, ages 6 and 7.5, and they really enjoyed it! We liked the way the story was presented, with the debunking facts laid out separate from the story content. Some of the facts were a bit above the reading level that my soon-to-be-first-grader is currently reading at, but overall, this was a fun read for everyone!

This was such a cute twist on the three little pigs. Professor goose is fact checking the story we all think we know. She gives kids a lot of information to teach them new facts about several subjects. I read this to my 5 year old and she really enjoyed it!

I really enjoyed this book a lot. I think it is a great way to re-tell a fairy tale and teach kids a little something along the way. My kids thought it was funny and asked a lot of questions about coding!
