"Mr and Mrs Pig's Evening Out" is a story with background knowledge of "The Three Little Pigs". Mother and Father Pig decide to go out one evening thus hiring a babysitter for their ten little piglets. The babysitter turns out to be a wolf from the agency and without thinking, Mr and Mrs Pig go out for the evening. After a while, Mrs Wolf began to feel hungry. She tiptoed up the stairs into the piglets bedroom and snatched one. He started snorting and squealing so hard that he woke up all of his brothers and sisters. The pigs grabbed a blanket and followed Mrs Wolf downstairs. The piglets came up behind Mrs Wolf and threw the blanket over her head and wrapped her up. When father and mother pig can home the piglets told them of their show more narrow escape. Father pig took Mrs Wolf and dumped her in the river, where she was not heard from again. Honestly this story is a little scary but the idea of basing it off of the "Three Little Pigs" story is quite creative. After reading this story I decided I would not read this story inside the classroom unless it was for older students (5th or 6th grade minimum). I wouldn't want to send my students home scared to ever let their parents out of sight. show less
A story about piglets being left with a babysitter. The babysitter turns out to be a wolf and the book turns violent. I would NOT read it at school as it could put fear in children about their parents leaving them.
Imo, too scary. Subject is not the title, but the piglets outwitting the wolf who is disguised as a babysitter. The worst part is, Mother is introduced to Mrs. Wolf" and goes out anyway!"
