I didn't care for this version of The Three Little Pigs. I didn't like the plot in this particular version. The first two pigs get eaten and then the third pig eats the wolf. I prefer the version where the pigs all live together. It is just a personal preference.

Another reason I didn't like this book is because of the language that was used. One of the phrases that was used a lot was, "Please, sir, give me some bricks to build me a house." I don't like the way it sounds.

The overall message in this book is just a fun story to read. ( )

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.
