The True Story of the Three Little Pigs! By A. Wolf

Scieszka. (1989). The true story of the three little pigs! by a. wolf. New York, NY: Scholastic Inc.

I choose to read this book because it is such a great book to teach with. It is a great picture book that captures the classic The Three Little Pigs in a new light. I love to teach point of view with my students using this picture book. Point of view is a new standard in third grade. Students love to use books to connect to their learning. They may think they are just using a book in their lesson, but it helps to engage and give meaning to the students.

The plot of this story relates to the class story The Three Little Pigs, but adds new details because it is written from the Wolf’s point of view. I have used this story as a reader’s theater with my students and they love it. I found a site that took this story and broke it up into different parts. The students love to act out the story. I have found that by using this story and the classic Three Little Pigs, my students can compare and contrast the two stories easily. Comparing text on a similar topic is another state standard that we are required to teach.

Questions I would have about this book are how to use it in another way to teach some of the new standards. The students love to use and read this book in class that I would like to relate it to more standards.
