The Three Little Pigs: An Old Story (Sunburst Book) (edition 1991)

This was a different twist because he actually ate the pigs. In the end, the pig who made his house of bricks ate he woof. This was a cute story. ( )

One of my favorite versions of the Three Little Pigs. It is great for shared reading and students will like the illustrations. I like that this is the basic version of the story and does not have any twists that might confuse children who have never read the Three Little Pigs. ( )

Wolf looks like a shikester with his overcoat, top hat and cane. Pigs 1 and 2 are eaten by the wolf, "Yumm-yum!" Wolf tries all sorts of shenanigans to capture Pig 3, each time Pig either outsmarts him or is aided by luck. Wolf is eaten by Pig 3, "Yumm-yum!" ( )

There are three little pigs their mother sends them off to live on their own. The pigs each have their own way of doing things the pigs all make houses by of different stuff. The wolf comes by each house and tries to knock them down. The reason he wants to knock the house is because he wants to eat them.

I had mixed feelings about this book. The story has been told many different times and ways but in this book the first and second pig got eaten and then the third pig ate the wolf. When I was little I remember the story as the first and second pig ended up at the third pig’s house. This story as the same point to it no matter what view it is told from.

In the classroom I might have the students make little houses out of the materials that the pigs used and see which one stands the best. Another thing that we could do is think of other animals and other material and make our own story.

The Three Little Pigs is about three pigs that leave home per their mothers advice and venture off into the real world to be on their own. Their mother tells them to build stong houses and be ware of the wolf. Each pig goes their own way. The first pig builds his house out of straw and the wolf blows it down and eats him. The second pig builds his house out of sticks and the wolf blows it down and eats him. The third pig builds his house out of bricks and the wolf cannot blow it down and the pig evades many attempts for the wolf to eat him. In the end, the wolf gets cooked in the pigs soup.

Its funny to me to think that as a kid I was told stories that involved animals getting eaten up by a other animals! The story is quite sad as I read it now, but as a kid I thought it to be interesting and neat.

One classroom extension I would use would be for the kids to describe the houses they live in and then compare the differences between all of the houses. I would also use the differences in materials used and how the pigs built their homes as a way to teach about the sturdiness and stability of certain materials. ( )
