This was one of my favorites when I was a kid, and it is still funny now.

Será que a história dos três porquinhos ocorreu daquele jeito mesmo? Dando a palavra ao lobo, que naturalmente narra os acontecimentos do seu ponto de vista, Jon Scieszka consegue reforçar a "veracidade" da história original, contar uma história nova e engraçada e dar às crianças a oportunidade para demonstrar que compreendem muito bem as coisas.

Epigraph
Everybody knows the story of the Three Little Pigs. Or at least they think they do. But I'll let you in on a little secret. Nobody knows the real story, because nobody has ever heard my side of the story.
Dedication
To Jeri and Molly
First words
Everyone knows the story of the Three Little Pigs.
Quotations
Hey, it's not my fault wolves eat cute little animals like bunnies and sheep and pigs...If cheeseburgers were cute, folks would probably think you were Big and Bad, too.
The real story is about a sneeze and a cup of sugar.
I don't know how this whole Big Bad Wolf thing got started, but it's all wrong

Book description
This story has a great lead, so good for teaching how to make a lead.

We all have heard about the three little pigs and their run-in with the big bad wolf, but what if their story wasn't true? This book allows A. Wolf to get his two sense in and explain why a sneeze and a cup of sugar was the reasoning for everything.

In class: make a lead, fairytales, adoptions in other stories and cultures, develop own twist to a classic fairytale
