Reviews for The Three Little Pigs

This is a great book to use in the classroom setting. I remember reading this book in 1st grade for a play that the school made us participate in. This story is a lot like the one with little red riding hood where its message to kids is to not trust a stranger. This book has a great story and is good at catching the children's attention and keeps it until the end. I would definitely recommend every teacher read this to their young kids.

Genre: fiction mother goose taleSummary: The story starts with each pig living in their house as the wolf goes to each house wanting to eat each pig. Each pig lives in a different type of house: a straw, wooden, and brick house. The straw and wooden house breaks down as the wolf breathes on it and blows it over. However, the brick one does not. In the end, the wolf tries to get into the house by going through the chimney where the wolf finally ends his life. Audience: children and those who like Mother Goose tales. Curriculum ties: tied to critical thinking and alaysis at an early age. Awards (optional):Personal response: There is nothing better than to hear a Mother Goose tale. In this book, it includes a very detailed and animated book. The drawings and the color is very colorful. The story maintains its values and learning about morals. Even the the story ends with the wolf losing its life, the story creates a great adaptation to kids. Overall, the story will continue its legends and story telling with this book. It is a great collection to the many awesome Mother Goost stories that exist.

A family classic, The Three Little Pigs, retold by award-winning author Patricia Seibert and illustrated by world know illustrator Horacio Elena, brings the story of The Three Little Pigs to life. This young readers picture book is filled with pictures that take over the page and literature that keeps the reader wanting more. The story begins with the three pigs and other animal friends discussing over lunch that the weather is changing and that they better find new homes to live in before it gets to cold out side. The three pigs then set off to find materials to build their own houses out of. The first pig chooses to use straw, the second chooses sticks and the third pig decides to take his time and build himself a house made of bricks. The story continues with a hungry wolf showing up at the little pigs’ homes and trying to blow them down. The wolf is successful with blowing the house made of straw and the house made of sticks down, but soon discovers that there is no way in blowing down a house made of bricks. No matter how much the wolf huffs and puffs, the house make of brick was not coming down. Though this is a story has been told over and over again by many different writers and illustrators, Seibert and Elena do an extraordinary job! People of all ages would enjoy reading this book, no mater how old or young they are. -Hannah

Luisa's version includes much ship of fools- or Dr. Strangelove-style futile machinations on the part of the pigs and a shocking last-minute deus ex machina in the form of Superpig.

The 3 little pigs is a fairy tale that features talking animals. The first little pig builds a house of straw, but a wolf blows it down and the first little pig runs to his brother house. The second pig builds a house of sticks, but his house was blown down to. So then him and his brother run to their other brother house, who was smart enough to build his house of bricks.The third pig builds a house of red bricks. The wolf couldn't huff and puff hard enough to blow the house down. He then attempts to trick the little pigs out of the house, but the pigs outsmarts him at every turn. Finally, the wolf tries to come down the chimney,and burns his behind and ran off howling. I love this story, espescially when i get to read it to children because they love hearing and repeating the part where the pigs say the repeated phase "not by the hair of my chinney chin-chin". Also, it shows children how the pig that took the time and energy to build a brick house was safe. However, the pigs who were lazy and took short cuts were not safe. Furthermore, people who work hard and work smart, will come out on top in the end.

The Three Little Pigs by Patricia Seibert (2001) This story is about a wolf and three pigs. The first pig builds a house straw but the wolf blows it down and eats him The second pig builds a house of sticks and once again the wolf blows if down and eats him. But the third pig builds a house of brick and outsmarts the wolf and eats him for dinner. this story has colorful pages and is an intermediate read. this is a work of fiction. It has some good vocabulary that could be used in the lower grades. This version is okay but not one of my favorites.

This book is nice retelling of the classic with updated illustrational. This rendition tells the story like the original. Often I've found that "modern or updated" version lose much of things we loved from the "old" stories as children. I like the illustrations a lot and the fact that the wolf is kinda goofy, and non-scary. The fook starts odd with the first couple pages showing mom waving the pigs away with a hanky. There is no explanation excatly what they mean, but there is pictures of what look like their parent saying good-bye. The pigs move from to build a new home for themselves. The first pig builds his home out of hay, the second pig build it out of sticks, and the third pig uses bricks. The wolf follows them and tries to get invited into their houses, but the wolf only wants one thing. The illustrations are updated and clever. When the wolf blown down the house the pigs hold onto the edge of the page. Also, each of the pig has a helper. The are little embedded details in the illustrations that are a delight for young children to discover.The Three Little Pigs is a great story. The story is told in many different variation, such as The Three little Wolves, The Big Bad Pigs, and The Three Little Pig, The True Story. This is a good book if you want the traditional story of "The Three Little Pigs". Pictures are clear and the story has some traditional wording.Extended Activities: Have the children create their own house use hay, sticks, and brick using construction page to made their own class book.

This is the classic tail of the three little pigs. In this version of the story, we are given reasons why the pigs build their houses of certain materials: impatiance versus common sense.
