This traditional story stays true to its roots. Three pigs set out one day to make their way in the world, but two are not so wise in their choice of building materials for their new homes. One builds out of straw and the other sticks, which a hungry wolf quickly blows down and the two pigs are gobbled up. The wise pig who built his home out of sturdy brick is safe from the wolf and spends the rest of the story outsmarting him. In the end, the wolf resorts to climbing down the pig’s chimney, onl...

This was a simply book that i loved when i was little and kinda still do.

I have another version I like better.

1. Traditional Literature2. This is the classic tale of the three little pigs that all left their mother’s house going in different directions to build their life and home. Two of the pigs are gobbled up by the big, bad wolf. While the third pig outsmarts him and gets to have wolf stew for dinner. 3. Critiquea. Originality b. This is always a children’s favorite. The use of repetition is great for the kid’s to interact during the read-aloud. I enjoyed the author making it his own by delving more...

This story was the traditional three little pigs story. The pigs leave their mothers house and start lives of their own. The three little pigs all went different ways and had to create their own shelter. One pig made a house of straw, one made their house of sticks, and the other made its house out of bricks. The big bad wolf tried to break down all the houses and succeeded until he reached the last pigs house that was made of brick, then the pig flipped things around and began out smarting the

This a traditional story but with a twist. A hungry wolf comes upon three little pigs, each with his own house. The wolf successfully gets to the first two pigs who did not have solidly built homes. The third pig however has a house made from wolf resistant bricks. The wolf fails to get to the third pig, and instead, is bested by the pig and become his dinner. I had not read a version where two of the pigs get consumed by the wolf, and I am not too sure I liked this telling better than the other...

Genre: Traditional Literature Picture BookThe three little pigs and wolf are at it again! The wolf is hungry and has a craving for pork. This classic story is taken one step further by the author. The wolf is taken for a ride by the smartest pig of them all. Will the wolf ever learn his lesson?a.) An area for critique for this book is the author’s style in creating a fractured fairy tale.b.) I understand the goal of this book, which is to create a twist on a classic tale of the three little pigs...

Now THAT'S more like it! Too many 3 Little Pigs versions are ridiculously sanitized for the children's so-called sensitivities. Not here: the pigs look like pink psychopaths, and I actually felt bad for the wolf's looming doom. The artwork is lovingly detailed: the page where the wolf has obviously enjoyed BBQ pork includes paper towels, a bottle of hot sauce... and a bucket of bones! The story also follows the traditional tale accurately. I liked!

Staying true to the original story (similar to Paul Galdone's version) this one has the wolf eating the first two pigs and the third pig eating him. The pictures are also true to the story (the pigs look a little mad and the wolf hilariously uses hot sauce when eating the second pig). But, it's too much for my little preschoolers to really get so I won't be using it for story time. I think it would be a lot of fun with an older crowd!

I liked reading this story because it was not the version that I expected. As I child this was one of my favorite folktales. My favorite character was the wolf. This is a nice update to an old classic!

Genre: Traditional LiteratureSummary: Barry Moser retells the classic story, The Three Little Pigs with a twist. This story is not for the faint of heart, as the wolf starts out winning against the two little pigs, until he finds himself outwitted by the third.Critique:a. The watercolor pictures and how they depict the story.b. Moser uses beautiful watercolor illustrations with light colors that give movement to the pictures. I loved this twist on the classic story, but the illustrations bring s...

I'm not a fan of the version where the wolf eats the first two pigs but the third pig eats the wolf because then it's like the third pig is eating his brothers. I know it is probably not like that but to me it is. This book is one of those.

Each little pig build and makes things in their own way. But when a wolf comes to town they will see how important hard work is.

Genre: Traditional Picture bookSummary: Moser expands upon the original little pig story through a few new storylines and creative illustrations. He also adds craftiness to the third pig’s qualities. The first two pigs unfortunately are eaten, but through wit and quick thinking, the third pig outsmarts the wolf and ends up eating wolf stew for dinner. Literary Critique: (a.) The illustrations add details to a classic story(b.) Moser adds new modern touches to The Three Little Pigs story with the...

My students were quite startled by this version!

From January through March 2014, my preschool classroom engaged in a fractured fairytale unit as a unifying theme for our larger multidisciplinary curriculum. Engaging both traditional and fractured versions of the three little pigs story allowed our classroom community to explore ideas of character voice and perspective, engage in our own construction work (with Lincoln Logs, miniature bricks, unit blocks, clay, etc.), write stories individually and collaboratively, perform Readers' Theatre, an...
