The True Story of the Three Little Pigs
Jon Scieszka
- Reading
- If reading together, compare the Wolf’s version with what your child remembers of the traditional tale. Let them decide which details they trust and why.
- Themes
- A story retold from the Wolf’s viewpoint: Alexander T. Wolf gives his account of what happened in his encounter with the three pigs. The changed narrator reframes a familiar tale, leaving readers to weigh the Wolf’s account against what they know of the traditional story.
- Worth knowing
- A child who knows the traditional tale may bring expectations of their own.
