The Three Little Pigs Told through Texts and Short Posts

---

In comparing this to other versions of the story, it is interesting to see the parts from this story here that are changed or left out. Instead of being a story about resourcefulness, the story now is about misunderstanding people and finding out the true story. I definitely recommend it! The retelling completely twists the story of the Three Little Pigs and depicts the pigs as the bad guys. The pigs were extremely rude to him, and each time he sneezed their houses would fall down on top of them.

The traditional story of the three little pigs suggests that the wolf was evil and the third pig was clever to outsmart him. The re-telling suggests that the pigs were inconsiderate of the wolf and if they had only been friendly, everyone could have had a happy ending. The re-telling emphasizes that everything is not always as it seems and we should look at both sides of a story.

The plots of both stories are simple and direct, but the re-telling uses more lively and engaging language to appeal to young readers. It stays true to the plot of the original tale but sets the story in the southwest region of the United States in modern times. The pigs also take on the form of javelinas, a southwest cousin of the traditional American farm pig. The Three Little Javelinas message, however, is the same. To me, the original version is a little too drastic to read to young children. In comparing the two versions compared above, the variant version is a little less violent, but still mirrors the original story.

However, both books contain the criteria for being Traditional Fantasy. The story by Gavin Bishop has excellent illustrations that compliment the story while using a simple plot and engaging language. Additionally, this online original tale has been passed down orally. I had never read about the pig out tricking the wolf and going to all those places right before the wolf would arrive. This book is a retelling of the original three little pigs. The book has illustrations that extend the story.

The plot in the story above is more simple and direct. The story above is engaging especially at the end, when the pig is tricking the wolf. In The True story of the Three Little Pigs the story is lively and engaging because it gives the reader a different perspective of the Three Little Pigs. After reading this story as well as the retelling of Three Little Javelinas I realized there were some substantial differences. In the Three Little Pigs the wolf eats the first two pigs, but in the Three Little Javelinas the first two pigs escape to the third little pigs house.

The third pig did not eat the wolf in the Three Little Javelinas. He was simply burned and ran away. Also the Three Little Javalinas used tumbleweed instead of straw, sticks from a dried up cactus, and adobe bricks. This retelling represents the culture of the desert and uses specific details in both its language and its illustrations to expand the story. This is an excellent resource for reading the more traditional fairytale of the three little pigs. Looking at the criteria for evaluating traditional fantasy this version has a fairly simple plot with more complicated actions against the wolf by the third pig.

Some may also classify it as a fractured tale because it does not have quite the same plot as the coyote is not killed in the end of the book. This story does not keep with the language f the traditional tale as listed under the criteria for traditional fantasy. Because the ending is not identical between the variations the moral would not be the same.

The theme of the Three Little Javelinas is more about giving the students a way to explain why the coyotes howl at night. Overall, both variations are good stories. WOW natasha thanks very much amazing story reading really love thanks the story is quite intresting thankyou EbtesaM. EbtesaM — April 21, Bertie — April 30, Williams — May 10, I like that story,who ever wrote this.

I like the part when the little pig who built that house out of bricks got to heaps of places before the wolf. Sophie, Emilia, California — July 14, Axel quintero — July 24, I really liked this version of the three little pigs. I thought that the character development of the last little pig was good; how he was shown as sly and intelligent made him likeable and interesting to children.

Though some may find this story as too gruesome for some younger age groups. I liked the unexpectedness of the story above, students would have to take their time when predicting how the pig will triumph over the wolf. It would be great to use for beginning to teach students critical thinking skills, sequencing of events, and character development.

I enjoyed listening to this classic tale of the Three Little Pigs because I had forgotten how the story progressed. Recently, I read a different variant to the original tale of the Three Little Pigs. I read the Three little Pigs by Gavin Bishop. The original tale does make the family poor. Although it was different however, the original and the one told by Gavin Bishop are almost identical and can both be considered quality traditional fantasy literature.

The story line of both stories was the same where the wolf wanted to eat the pigs, and pigs one and two are not as prepared or smart as the third pig, so their houses were blown down. However, the difference between the original Three Little Pigs and The Three Ninja Pigs is that in the latter, the pigs study some form of self-defense and that is how they ward off the wolf- not by the material of their house.

When reading the Three Little Pigs, I was initially surprised about how grim it was. I had never realized that the last little pig had so many encounters with the Wolf. I picked it because I thought that it was a variant, but I soon realized there was no common basis between the works.

I did find similarities. This novel details the experiences of the author in the foster care system. Like the pigs, Courter had to deal with many wolves through her life. Initially she hid by avoiding doing anything wrong to avoid punishment. The wolf in the story was named Mrs. She was particularly cruel and did horrible things to her and other children. Even after leaving the home, she was haunted by memories and reminders of this woman. Only when she took Mrs. Moss head on in a law suit could Courter be free from the hurt inflicted on her and to make sure that no other child would ever be hurt again.

Just like this, only when the pig takes the Wolf head on can he defeat the wolf. I sincerely enjoyed listening to The Three Little Pigs and appreciated the fact that this story is able to be well translated and understood when spoken. This type of literature facilitates good practical experience with listening to texts which allows students to practice their listening and comprehension skills.

I also had the opportunity to read a retelling of this beloved story called The Three Little Javelinas which had a very similar plot with a slight twist: This particular story is a retelling due to the fact that although the basic premise of the story is the same, many major parts are different such as the three different materials [brick, straw and sticks] and the presence of a wolf were concepts that were not in the retelling of the story. The original telling of The Three Little Pigs as presented on storynory is classified as a traditional fantasy, since the original source of the story is unknown and it was passed down initially through oral tradition.

I read a similar pig story, Small Pig by Arnold Lobel, which is a modern fantasy as opposed to a traditional fantasy. This story was created by the author, and recorded in print through publishing in Although these stories are both fantasies about pigs, they are quite different in composition, development, and theme. While The Three Little Pigs may be seen as a warning to build sturdy defenses, Small Pig focuses more on taking time to settle in places of comfort, and pursuing that comfortable place when it disappears, which provides a very deep conversational question.

I would suggest reading it if you have not. The plot is simple, but complex in the details that have been changed. The message is that the big, bad pig just wanted friends to have around him. The language is lively and has many interesting differences that I do not think are based on the culture of the time. The common Three Little pigs was very straight forward and simple, where as in my retelling the pigs are playing games, use modern building supplies, somewhat violent, and mentioned a tea leaves in their tea-pot often.

This story reversed the common role of the scary wolf and innocent pigs. The Illustrations closely compliment the story as well as the original story. If one were to simply look at the illustrations they might think that they were reading the original story. The Wolf in this story is defending his case.

Instead of angrily blowing down the houses he uses the excuse that he has a cold and is sneezing down each house. I believe that this book represents modern values, the book plays off the deaths of the pigs as accidents instead of brutal murders. Overall, the plot is simple and direct and engaging with the oral tradition of the original book. He goes on to explain how the wolf is actually framed for simply asking for some sugar for his grandma! In the original telling, the wolf is the antagonist trying to eat the three little pigs whereas the wolf in this story is disguised as a child in a wolf costume.

The plot is, however, both simple and direct, but they are not the same at all. The original story is a progression of the relationship between the pigs and the bad wolf where the wolf loses in the end. They are two very different stories that happen to share a similar animal which is a wolf. Unlike the original version, listened to above, the story does a role reversal and puts the pig in charge with the wolves cowering in their homes.

Continuing with the modern twist, the wolves build houses out of brick, cement, armor plated steel, and finally flowers. All of the manmade structures anger the pig, leading to destruction and fear. However, once the wolves embrace nature in their flower house, the pig calms down and everyone lives happily ever after. The plot itself, although altered, still follows the general guidelines set forth by the original story. There are still three scared animals and one grumpy one. The story by Gavin Bishop does not begin quite the same as the original in that in this version, the 3 little pigs are living with their mother Mrs.

Pig and she decides that they must move out on their own not because they are poor and must seek their fortunes but because in the picture the little pigs are all lounging by their in ground swimming pool while their mother is mowing the grass. The ending of the story is also a bit different because it does not finish with the explicit information that the pig ate the wolf but it is implied through the illustration of the pig holding his enlarged stomach after dinner in satisfaction. Overall, the story uses language that is lively and keeps true to the oral tradition, only varying in very slight ways.

I particularly enjoyed this very twisted rendition of the three little pigs. I loved the dimension that the end of the story brings to this classic story. In comparison to the others versions that I have read about the three little pigs this definitely has to be my favorite. It takes on the traditional story of the three little pigs and as the story progresses the story begins to change. The three pigs leave there story and enter into other traditional fairy tales as they run away from the big bad wolf. This rendition concludes with the pigs returning to their original story with all their friends they collected along the way.

Both stories held the same story frame work of the three little pigs but had very differing endings.

The Three Little Pigs

In evaluating this story in comparison to the original I conclude that this story follows all criteria needed to be a variant to the original. You could make a comparison between this novel and The Three Little Pigs, as told on storynory, as there are three of them. In order to remain safe, the guinea pigs pretend to be boring. In the end of this tale, the three guinea pigs are reunited and are all owned by the former wolf. This is not an echo of The Three Little Pigs as they never become friends of the wolf in the original tale.

The Three Little Guinea Pigs is a modern fantasy tale. Fantasy elements that are present are characterization as the guinea pigs are portrayed with human characteristics. The story is believable though as it appears as if that could have been the thought process of the animals.

The Three Little Pigs, retold and illustrated by Gavin Bishop, was aligned with the Storynory version as it is simple and direct. There is a slight variant on the traditional story by it beginning with Mrs. Pig deciding it was time for her pigs to leave home. This story possessed the original content of one pig choosing to make a straw house and another building a stick house.

Both of these pigs had their houses destroyed by the Wolf and were eaten by him. The last little pig, as in the original story, built his house out of bricks, and much to the chagrin of the Wolf, he was unable to blow the house down. The story ended as the original, with the Pig boiling a pot, the Wolf scrambling down the chimney, and the little Pig eating the Wolf right up! I enjoyed this story by the Brothers Grimm very much.

The story was captivating and the language lively and enchanting. However, many children might find this version disturbing because the eats the wolf in the end. In that version, the wolves build their house out of bricks, then cement, then steel, and the pig destroys each house. When they decide to build it out of flowers, the pig smells the flowers and decides to stop pursuing the wolves and make friends with them instead. This version would appeal to modern audiences more than the Grimm version because the villain changes his ways rather than being overcome by the protagonist.

However, there are also many differences. Further, the materials that the wolves use to build the house are different bricks, concrete, barbed wire, and then flowers. The pig is able to destroy all of the houses except for one-the house made of flowers. In the end, the pig and the wolves become friends. Although the classic and modified versions are so different, they both employ lively and engaging language.

They also both convey a theme of perseverance and the modified version illuminates the importance of friendship. This retelling is close to the original in certain aspects. In the retelling, the houses of straw and sticks get blown down by the wolf, and the wolf eats the pigs that lived in each house. When the wolf came to the brick house, he was unable to blow it down. In contrast to the original tale, the story that I read was from the point of view of the wolf, and he claimed that his powerful sneezes caused the first two houses to collapse and that the pigs were found dead once the smoke of the houses collapsing cleared and simply decided to not let the pig go to waste.

Finally, instead of the wolf falling down the chimney into a boiling pot, the wolf in the retelling was arrested. But then it turns out that they are just throwing a surprise birthday party for the wolf rather than hiding in fear of him. It was a awesome book to read…………………………. THE END that is what the author should do then it would beat golden goose and the boy who cried wolf thanks p. April 30th, and May 2nd, has very inappropriate names that may have slipped by without being noticed.

My daughter was reading the comments and saw this and I was hoping you could take these down. I enjoyed listening to this traditional version of the Three Little Pigs. Instead of a wolf antagonist, humans are the enemy! These three guinea pigs are best friends and fear being bought from the pet store to different owners. This version is much shorter than the traditional and has a happy ending for all three pigs, not just one. Overall, I really enjoyed listening to this version and having an opportunity to compare it to a modern retelling of the classic.

After reading the traditional version of the Three Little Pigs I was surprised at the differences from the story I thought was the traditional version.

Further, it was very different from another version Newton and the Three Little Pigs. While the rest of the story the wolf tried to deceive the last brother pig who made his house out of bricks and blow his house in unsuccessfully. Instead in this story the wolf tried to deceive the pig by getting him to leave his house and eat him not having as much to do with the house itself.

Similarly in both stories the pig ultimately deceived the pig. I loved hearing this traditional fantasy story. I had never heard the full version which included the turnips, apple tree, and the fair. This story is clearly a fable, because the few characters are animals with impersonal personalities who speak as humans. It is a simple story which conveys the complex ideas of being careful with strangers and careful with who you trust.

This tale reverses the traditional roles to add humor and irony. The themes and morals are different, allowing the antagonist to have a change of heart. After listening to this story I was shocked at how different it was. Although the characters are the same, there are many differences. For example none of the characters die, they are all good, and the pig does not try to trick the wolf or scare him. Both versions of the Three Little Pigs have similar characters, settings, and theme. It is exciting to explore the different versions to stories! Although they have the same storyline each version showcases creativity and surprise.

This story was great compared to all the variations of this story that I have read in the past. In this variation the the wolf was the protagonist and the pigs were the antagonists. It was more a story of coincidence while this much more traditional story had more developed and active characters who drove the story.

I loved how cleaver the last pig was and how this version created multiple chances for him to show off his cleverness. Lastly I enjoyed how this book had a bit of a dark twist or justice even when the wolf got boiled alive. Such a cute story! This version of the Three Little Pigs stays very true to the traditional version of the story. The story is simple and predictable, however parts sure do surprise the reader! The story themes classify as typical and the story line incorporates some repeated patterns and elements. Unique characteristics present in folktales are also evident in this version of the story.

Specifically, a unique characteristic of folktales found in this story is trickery motifs involving animals or humans who trick friends and neighbors. Trickster tales are part of almost every cultures. This story is very cute and enjoyable for a wide audience of multiple age ranges! I really enjoyed listening to this read-aloud of the three little pigs tale.

Sticking with the trickery motif and talking animals, Bishop only differs from the original tale by a few words. This unique rendition features the characters contradicting how they are in the original tale. I was surprised at how long this version of the Three Little Pigs is! The whole part about the wolf trying to trick the pig in the brick house into eating food and going to a carnival were comletely new to me. I really enjoyed this version with the manipulative wolf. I especially liked how the last pig outsmarted him so much.

It was an unusual twist on the classic tale. I had never heard the middle parts of this story before! The plot points where the wolf kept trying to trick the last pig at the carnival, picking berries, etc. It seemed pretty repetitive, and it slowed down the middle of the story for me — I noticed my mind wandering while the wolf kept trying and trying to trick the pig. When transitioning to the conclusion of the story that I had heard before where the wolf falls into the pot of boiling water, the middle section seemed to end fairly abruptly!

The connection was not very smooth. The reader read with great prosody! I think this story would be very engaging for young readers because of the quality of reading. This is a great story. I had never heard all of the ways the last pig tricks the wolf!

See a Problem?

It made the story a lot longer than the other versions I had heard. This version was very different from one story about the three little pigs I recently read. He tries to explain how he is innocent! This story was great! But it seems changed from the version I remember. I remember none of the pigs dying and living in the brick house of the third pig. I love the story it one of my fave rates I love it so much I want marry them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think you have remarked some very interesting points , appreciate it for the post.

The wolf is trying to prove to the readers that he is not the bad guy, and that really the pigs are at fault. But then the third pig is smart and has his house built in bricks so the wolf cannot come in, and the third pig ends up calling the police on him. This is where the original story and the variant are different because of the ending. In the original story, the first two pigs are eaten and then third one out smarts the wolf and actually ends up tricking him into a boiling pot of water and eats him for dinner.

In the ending of the variant, the third pig and the wolf are still alive. They are also different based off of the narrator. The original is told in third person, and the variant is told in first person. These are both great stories and the differences and similarities are what make them so unique and interesting for children to experience. This story has a lot of similarities to the retelling that I read by Gavin Bishop. The story stats off a little different though. It starts with Mrs. Pig deciding that it is time for her three sons to leave home.

She then packs them each a lunch and sends them on their way to start a life on their own. The story is very similar to the original because the pigs who build their houses out of straw and sticks both get eaten by the wolf. The pig who uses bricks to build his house ends up defeating the wolf just like it says in the original version. The only difference between this book and the original version is the beginning. Bertie — October 28, The framework of the story is similar between the retelling of the book and the original tale. The book is told in a completely different perspective. It is very interesting to see the difference in the story.

It is a very humorous piece. There is no citing of the original source, since it is very different from the original story. There is some violence in this story, but I think it is a better kind of violence than the kind present in the original story. No character dies in this version; in fact, the characters become friends by the end of the story, showing more character growth and development than the original story.

One of my favorite parts of this story were the illustrations. They were very bright and colorful and very prominent. Some of the pictures took up entire pages. They really enhanced the plot of the story. I love this book. I even think I like it more than the original story. The plot is simple in the book which is good for younger readers. The story has a moral of do not trust the story without hearing the other side. Hearing both sides of the story will help you find out what really happened.

The illustrations are very good and it helps to extend the story. The text is close to the original, it is just told from the wolfs side. However, like the original tale, the wolf was unable to blow the third house down! Another difference, is that the three little javelinas were lucky enough to not get eaten. The wolf tries to out-smart the little javelinas by climbing down the stove pipe, but luckily the stove was on and the wolf got burnt and ran away, and so the three little javelinas lived happily ever after.

In both stories the three pigs decide what kind of house to build and the wolf tried to blow the houses down. The main difference between the two is that there is a scientific element. The author added many details that are connected to physics. In the traditional three little pigs the antagonist is the Big Bad wolf and the protagonists are the three little pigs, but in the Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig, the wolves are the protagonist and the pig is the antagonist. The plot of both stories is similar except for the switch of the protagonist and antagonist.

This version, that I read, is a retelling of the traditional story because it completely flips the characters and have a different outcome. The language is lively and engaging. I think that both stories are written well and have the ability to draw in young readers. The moral of the first book it to not talk to strangers, I think.

Then the retelling the moral is that you catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

By this I mean that it took the pretty sweet smelling flowers for the wolves to turn the pig into a friend. The illustrations in the retelling are wonderful and add to the understanding and emotion of the story. I think that the retelling would be better to use to teach a lesson to young students. I think that the original story of The Three Little Pigs represents the style of reading and such that was used when it was written while the The Three little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig shows more of the moral side and type of story we are familiar with today.

However, both tales have the same ending of catching the wolf in the soup pot! The theme for every version seems to remain the same. The storynory tale aligns well the the original oral tradition, but I might alter the story depending on the age of my audience! The Three Little Pigs by Gavin Bishop does not cite an original source but acknowledges that it is a retelling of the original. The plot is simple, as each set of problems introduces itself in a set of three.

Some of the scenes can be a bit gruesome for children as in the Storynory version of the tale as well. Both of these versions The Three Little Pigs share a subtle theme about strangers to children. Though the wolf tried to get the third pig to come with him, the pig knew to stay inside where he was safe and go out when he was sure the wolf was not. Children are reminded through this story never to go with strangers and stay in safety areas.

This storynory of the Three Little Pigs was very well read and engaging classical version of how the story is originally told. In the original version, the three little pigs are each visited by the big, bad wolf and each have to defend themselves. The first pig builds a house out of hay, but then the wolf huffs and puffs to blow it down resulting in the first pig getting eaten.

The second pig builds a house of sticks, but the wolf huffs and puffs it down and eats the pig up! The end of the original version of The Three Little Pig then has the third pig outsmart the wolf by building a house out of brick and eventually trapping the wolf to kill him.

However, aside from the original traditional fantasy of the Three Little Pigs there are many different variants or retellings. This book differs from the original in that, it incorporates three little guinea pigs who live happily together in an animal shelter. The antagonist in this book is the owner who tries to sell off one of guinea pigs, but with each attempt the guinea pigs try their hardest to make themselves not get sold. The story ends with each guinea pig being sold, but under the same owner!

It is a retelling because no characters in the story wind up dying and the animals themselves are guinea pigs instead of pigs. The characters are a bit different from this oral version. For example, in the retelling, the pigs are mean and rude to the wolf who is asking to borrow sugar. There are references to the lines: And the chiny chin chin, but the wolf explains that these were falsifications made up by the reporters who wanted a juicier story to print. It is interesting to see the different variations and retellings on The Three Little Pigs. It was a lively and engaging tale, that was different from the others I have read.

In this book, the three little wolves build a house out of bricks, and then cement, and then barbed wire, iron bard, armor plates, metal padlocks, Plexiglas, and reinforced steel chains. Each time the big bad pig comes, he is unable to huff and puff and blow the house down. However, he still finds a way to destroy the house sledgehammer, a pneumonic drill, dynamite, etc. Not to be discouraged, the wolves build a house out of flowers. As the big bad pig breathed in to huff and puff, he caught the fragrance of the flowers. This wonderful fragrance made the pig very happy and have a change of heart.

The wolves invited the pig to tea and to play games, and they lived happily ever after. The illustrations add to the tale. The idea of this book is close to the original tale, although the characters and the ending of the tale is different. Again, it is so interesting to see the differences in retellings of this classic tale! The number of variations that exists of the story of the Three Little Pigs interests me. I recently read The Three Ninja Pigs. The story line is similar to the original. The three pigs win in the end, after waving the wolf on his way.

There were a few differences throughout though. In The Three Ninja Pigs, the pigs train in karate in order to beat the wolf up, but in the original the three little pigs the pigs build their houses. This book also contains Chinese, which the original obviously does not. Also, one of the pigs was a girl in The Three Ninja Pigs. All in all, the stories were very similar. The additional karate references and setting made the story unique.

The Three Pigs starts off the same, but then things get a little bit crazy. The pigs are in control of the story. They visit a few other classic tales, and then they end up defeating the wolf, as they do in the original, only with a cat with a fiddle and a fire breathing Dragon.

I read this story before but your story is just wrong and it was horrible and not the way it is supposed to go. This story is funny when the wolf climbed down the chimney and the pig boiled him and ate for supper. The third little pig is very clever. I really think this story is wonderful because you used all your might and effort to write this fantastic fairy tale!!!!!!!!!!! Then the wolf showed his teeth and said:.

So he huffed and he puffed and he blew the house down! The wolf opened his jaws very wide and bit down as hard as he could, but the first little pig escaped and ran away to hide with the second little pig. The wolf continued down the lane and he passed by the second house made of sticks; and he saw the house, and he smelled the pigs inside, and his mouth began to water as he thought about the fine dinner they would make.

The wolf was greedy and he tried to catch both pigs at once, but he was too greedy and got neither! His big jaws clamped down on nothing but air and the two little pigs scrambled away as fast as their little hooves would carry them. The wolf chased them down the lane and he almost caught them. But they made it to the brick house and slammed the door closed before the wolf could catch them. The three little pigs they were very frightened, they knew the wolf wanted to eat them. And that was very, very true. The wolf hadn't eaten all day and he had worked up a large appetite chasing the pigs around and now he could smell all three of them inside and he knew that the three little pigs would make a lovely feast.

The bad wolf blow the first two houses of the pigs but could not blow down the house of bricks of the smarter pig. I would recommend this story to the parents that like to read small stories to their child before going to sleep. Jun 25, Deseree Jones rated it it was amazing Shelves: After reading it, I can see that the violence was a cause for it. I researched a little more and discovered it was also banned because the fact that the book is implying that pigs are food could be offensive to the Muslim community.

There was even a movement that banned the book from teachers to ban all books involving pigs in primary schools throughout the UK. Apr 18, Monica Boddie rated it it was amazing Shelves: You can do an art lesson letting the students build the house out of different materials. Straw, popsicle sticks, etc. You could also do a lesson on sequencing. The setting is at the three pigs house.

Oct 06, Courtney Ennis rated it it was amazing. In the original version of The Three Little Pigs, the three pigs set off to find materials to each build their own house. The first pig builds the house out of straw. Once the pig is finished, the big bad wolf comes knocking on the door to let him.

The wolf then eats him. The second pig builds his house out of sticks. The wolf sees that he is finishe In the original version of The Three Little Pigs, the three pigs set off to find materials to each build their own house. The wolf sees that he is finished and tries to come into that house. The third pig builds his house out of bricks.

It is too strong. The wolf then decides to come down the chimney and tries to get in that way. I like this book because it is the original. There are so many original versions but they all have the same idea. I like how they use pigs that seem helpless but are actually very smart and outwit the wolf. I also liked all of the pictures because you can really see what is going on in the story.

The illustrator does a really good job showing exactly what happens to the pigs and what happens to the wolf. This story is good and I hope they keep making new and updated versions of it. Jul 01, Amanda Brady rated it really liked it. The three Little Pigs is a classic tale which has been enjoyed by many, for a number of years and still proves popular to this day. The story takes the reader on a journey of three little pigs leaving home for the first time.

Each pig, purchases different materials in order to build their own home. The third little pig builds a house of bricks which the wolf if unable to blow down and therefore remains s The three Little Pigs is a classic tale which has been enjoyed by many, for a number of years and still proves popular to this day. The third little pig builds a house of bricks which the wolf if unable to blow down and therefore remains safe from the wolf.

He welcomes the other two pigs into his home and the story ends on a positive note without any of the pigs being eaten. The story highlights bravery, unionship and independence which I believe are all important topics for children to be familiar with. If children have siblings at home, they can relate to the three little pigs sticking together and looking out for one another, this can be said for their friendships they have at school. Peers support for children can often be as important as adult support, during their school years as it can help children develop both socially and academically.

Good for teaching structure, as children can generally recite this book, using a beginning middle and end. A drama element can also be implemented using this book; children can act out the book confidently. This book can be used in KS2 for the writing portfolio in SATs, once children are familiar with the story, they can use it to create a re-count.

Feb 21, Anjana Murali rated it really liked it. In this classic tale, three pigs find themselves building houses out of sticks, straws, and bricks. After building their houses, 'the big bad wolf' tries to blow down their houses to fulfill his hunger. This story builds off of the genre of fantasy, as the events that occur are just simply not realistic and would not occur.

I found that this book really stood out to me with its simple illustrations. Looking at the pigs, there aren't too many details to them as their faces are flat. The backgroun In this classic tale, three pigs find themselves building houses out of sticks, straws, and bricks. The background adds character to it and is really what draws the reader in, as the mood of the story corresponds with the background.

One design element that I really enjoyed as well was the texture of the illustrations. They looked extremely smooth and easy on the eye to understand, which helps narrate the story as well. A literary element that I noticed was that the plot contained a lot of sequencing that occurred.

The houses went in order from least strongest to strongest, as well as there was a repetitive sequence with the wolf trying to blow down each house. I think this really helps in the classroom to have the students be able to recognize patterns and create a short lesson out of this. Overall, I would give this book 4 stars, as although I found the plot line of the story to be intriguing, I feel that the illustrations- especially of the pigs- could have been more detailed.

Growing up my siblings and I would always read this as a bedtime story. I really enjoyed reading this classic fairytale as an adult now. I personally never got tired of the book as a kid and still never do reading it! I never have read this version of the book though. In this story each of the three pigs chose different materials to build their individual houses. For the third little pigs house he decided to make his house out of brick instead of straw.

The third little pig then shares his home with the other two pigs whose house blew down. Overall I like the moral of this story and enjoyed reading it again as an adult. Apr 20, Antoinette Evans rated it liked it. Rather than the pigs getting eaten as is the case with the original, Ross's story rather has the three pigs survive which ends the story on an positive note. The main themes that readers will take away are of cooperation, teamwork, and problem solving.

Young readers are taken through the logical thought process, which is a great introduction into basic reasoning and logic. This would be an excellent piece to use in the classroom as students can be involved in the problem solving practice. Finally, the first two pigs take solace in the brick house built by the third pig. Young readers can appreciate the togetherness of the little pig family, how each one looks after one another. This is a timeless classic that is suited for reading at home or in the classroom.

Nov 30, Taylor Anderson rated it really liked it Shelves: The Three Little Pigs is a classic tale, which is why it is categorized in the traditional-literature shelf. In the story, the pigs build houses of straw, sticks, and bricks. But once their homes are built, a big bad wolf comes after them and tries to blow down each house in hopes of having a pork-y snack.

After the first two houses are blown down by the wolf's huffs and puffs, the little pigs find refuge in the brick house. The writing trait that sticks out in this story is organization. This i The Three Little Pigs is a classic tale, which is why it is categorized in the traditional-literature shelf. This is because there is a repetitive sequence with the wolf huffing and puffing and blowing each house down. This book could be helpful in teaching students how to recognize sequences i.

It could also help students learn about patterns in stories and help them to make predictions. For example, the teacher could say: The next house was made of sticks and was a little more challenging.
