The True Story Of the Three Little Pigs: By A.Wolf

This is a spin off of the story of the three little pigs. In this book we hear the wolfs story and see his point of view of what really happened. In his story he claims that he was going to ask for some sugar but was terribly sick with the cold. When he went to the door he sneezed and the houses fell down. He could not let food go to waste so he did what he had to do. He feels like he was framed and people should hear his side of the story. This is a great book to introduce point of view. I would also use this book to compare and contrast this story to the original story. This story could be read to any grade level.

This book is the story of the 3 little pigs told in the POV of the big bad wolf. He explains that the story everyone tells isn't accurate and the whole situation was a misunderstanding. This is a good fantasy because the fox and other animals essentially talk, bake, and have a justice system like humans.

Rather cute little story turning the story of the 3 Little Pigs on it's ear. Great read-a-loud book.

This fairy-tale was interesting because it was a different interpretation of a common fairytale, the three little pigs. In this silly story the wolf explained why he shouldn't be guilty and that it wasn't ever his intention to kill the three little pigs. I wouldn't use this in the classroom for a mentor text but I would definitely have it for the kids to read on their own for fun in my book library.

This book is one that puts a twist on the traditional child's story of the three little pigs. It starts out with the wolf in prison speaking of his innocents and how this encounter was twisted and changed so that he was viewed as the bad guy. The wolf then goes into telling a story of how he was sick, making a birthday cake for his grandmother, and how he went on a search for some sugar. As he goes to his neighbors (the first two pigs) in seek of sugar he accidentally sneezes their houses down; the wolf then explains and compares the dead pigs to hamburgers and how he must eat them. The story ends with him getting angry with the last pig for insulting his grandmother and how that is the moment when people show up to witness his furry and how it was misconstrued to him being a ferocious wolf.I thought this story could be something fun and new for students to hear. There were also moments while reading it where questions and specific interactions that could happen with the children popped into my head. The overall learning lesson that children could get from this, and teachers could discuss with children, could be the importance of hearing both sides in certain stories in situations where there are disagreements or arguments.
