Walt Disney's Three Little Pigs (1933)

The Three Little Pigs is a folktale every child should read in there childhood. I remember specifically reading this book with my grandmother when I was a child. I still remember my grandmother saying, "and i will huff and i will puff and i will blow your house down." The Three Little Pigs has repetition of words like most folktales. ( )

The story starts off with three little pigs setting off for the first time alone. their mother gives them advice and says, "Whatever you do , do it the best that you can because that's the way to get along in the world". The three pigs set off to start their new life. The first pig builds his house out of straw, the second pig out of sticks, and the third pig out of bricks. One night, the Big Bad Wolf came hungry to eat some pigs. He walks up to the first house and asks to come in. The little pig refuses, so the wolf blows his house down. He does the same to the pig who built his home out of sticks. When the wolf gets to the third house he asks the same question, and again the pig refuses. But this time, the wolf is not able to blow the strong house down. He climbs to the roof to go in through the chimney. At the bottom, the third pig set up a pot of boiling water and the wolf fell right in. That was the end of the wolf and the pig lived happily ever after. ( )

-pre-K to K
-The three Little Pigs is a great fairy tale book. A big bad wolf tries and blow down the pigs houses down because he is very hungry
-I would have the kids make their own puppets so they can make up their own story of the three little pigs
-I also would have them act out or draw a story line of their own.

The Three Little Pigs is a classic fairy tale about pigs trying to protect themselves from the big bad wolf. This is a great book for children because the story shows how being lazy can result in a disaster. Also it can be used as a lesson because there are many different versions of the story. It also can be paired with The True Story of the Three Little Pigs by Jon Scieszka to show different points of views of the characters. ( )
