Summary:
This is the story of what really happened to the three little pigs. The ‘Big Bad Wolfe’ was not so bad after all. No, he was tricked into looking like the bad guy, when in reality; all he wanted was a cup of sugar. This book puts a spin on the classic tale of The Three Little Pigs, as told from the wolf’s perspective. I like this book because it allows children to see two sides of one story. It can allow them to pursue higher level thinking, which is the ultimate goal in teaching!
