There were also moments while reading it where questions and specific interactions that could happen with the children popped into my head. The story ends with him getting angry with the last pig for insulting his grandmother and how that is the moment when people show up to witness his furry and how it was misconstrued to him being a ferocious wolf.I thought this story could be something fun and new for students to hear. As he goes to his neighbors (the first two pigs) in seek of sugar he accidentally sneezes their houses down the wolf then explains and compares the dead pigs to hamburgers and how he must eat them. ![]() ![]() The wolf then goes into telling a story of how he was sick, making a birthday cake for his grandmother, and how he went on a search for some sugar. It starts out with the wolf in prison speaking of his innocents and how this encounter was twisted and changed so that he was viewed as the bad guy. Then, as now, the book’s art style and design made it stand out from the pack. ![]() This book is one that puts a twist on the traditional child's story of the three little pigs. The True Story Of The 3 Little Pigs by Jon Scieszka, illustrated by Lane Smith (Penguin Books USA, 1989) has been going strong since its publication over thirty years ago. ![]()
