The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs

Very good book for early elementary, It is the wolf's perspective of the three little pigs. It would be a great story to teach that there are two sides to every story.

VERY cute story. This is the updated version of the three little pigs. This is the story of the three little pigs told by the wolf. Its very funny and kids will love it because everyone knows the original story of the three little bigs. In this story the wolf makes it known that he really isn't a

big bad wolf at all. This can help chiildren learn to create their own stories or even their own version of the three little pigs. I would use this for 1st-4th grade.

Another version of the three little pigs.A great book. Its a much new versions and is alittle diffrent than the older version. Illustrations great!

This book is really funny. The author writes the book in the wolf's perspectives of what happened with the pigs. Every part is very creative and the pictures are really entertaining. You could read it to your class after a study on fairy tales.

This story, unlike the other stories of the same name, is told from the wolf’s point of view. Alexander T. Wolf explains how innocent he actually was. The only thing he wanted to do was to bake a cake for his grandmother but he did not have enough sugar. He goes to first little pig’s home to

get some sugar, but accidentally the wolf sneezes. The sneeze causes for pig’s straw house to fell down and pig’s death. He does not want the first pig to be wasted so he eats it. He still needs a cup of sugar, he goes to the second pig’s house to get it. He gives another sneeze and again second pig’s house falls down just like his brothers, so he eats the second pig, because he believes if he does not eat, the pig will be wasted. He wants to try his luck with the third pig. Because the pig’s house is made from bricks, the wolf’s sneeze does not do any harm to the house. All of the neighbors nearby hear the wolf and come to pig’s help. The wolf goes to jail and he feels that the true story is that he was innocent and was framed.

I think that this book is so funny how the author writes the book in the wolf's perspectives of what happened with the pigs. It is written in a very creative way, and the pictures with the book are very creative.

I would have the students write their portrayals of what happened in a fairytale, and

not what actually happened in the story.

I love this book. I think it would be great for 2nd -5th grades. It is a good book to read aloud, and all ages will think it is funny.

Known as the 'other side' of the story, this folktale is retold from the Wolf's perspective, turning this story into nothing but alot of 'huffing and puffing.'
My favorite quote from my mother is 'there can be a busload of 50 people involved in a wreck, and at the end of the day the police officer

will have 50+ different stories that were told to him.' The wolf and the 3 little pigs are not any different. In todays day and age of fairness and 'innocent until proven guilty' the wolf had his day in court, well in a book.
In the classroom, I would ask the children to pick their favorite book involving a hero and/ or villian. I would have them write a short story on behalf of the villian or hero. Share feelings. Share thoughts. Get creative. Also, ask children to take their favorite movie or book and rewrite the ending. Open their imagination wider with each new idea and possibilities. Then share.

The classic story of the three little pigs told from the wolf’s point of view.

This was a fun remake of the classic. I enjoyed seeing how the wolf turned the story around on the pigs.

As a teacher I feel this would be a great book to read during story time. Pauses could be taken to reflect on the

original (maybe you could read the original first) to make comparisons. I feel students would find this version of the story very funny.

The true story of the three little pigs, is explaining how the fairy tale story began. The wolf is telling his side of the story and how he doesn't know where the phrase "Big Bad Wolf" comes into play. He's a very polite wolf and has had a cold and his nose is still running. He runs out of sugar

for his grandmothers birthday cake and so he goes next door to ask for some. Explaining the process through the whole story about what really happened. As a future teacher I would like for my students to read this story and get the same effect about it as I did. I always loved the story of the three little pigs and I still enjoy reading them. When I read this story it all seemed to fit together about the process through the story. I learned how the first story of the three little pigs maybe came about. Weither it is true or not, it does give you something to think about while reading the story. In the classroom I would like to use this story to teach a lesson about the way books are written and how to approach them. Students could write a paper about the story and what kind of things are different in the wolf's perspective. Comparing the stories would be another part of an assignment.

i really enjoyed this book and how it is the 'other side of the story'. the wolf gets a say in this book so its not the traditional story of the three little pigs, i thought this was a good twist on the story.
my personal reaction is that there is always two sides to every story so i can relate to

this in some weird sort of way. i think its a good way for children to learn about there is always two sides of the story.
for some classroom extensions i would maybe have the children pick out their favorite traditional story and maybe write the bad guy version or just a different ending to the story.

The story of the three little pigs - from the wolf's point of view. Hysterical.

Delightful twist to the fairytale of the 3 Little Pigs. The readers gets to hear Mr. Wolf's side of the story.

M: I think he was telling the truth, he lost his temper and they jazzed the whole story up so that it would be interesting for people to read.

A wonderful children's book! The illustrations are great and its good for kids to see that there are two sides to every story. This is just a really funny book, even if your an adult. I'd suggest that you read anything by Jon Scieszka!

This story is a Modern Fantasy. Remember the story of the three little pigs; this book is other side of the story. The wolf’s side of the story, what real happen. He wants to set the record straight he is not the Big Bad Wolf. The wolf’s real name is Alexander T. Wolf. The wolf claims all he

wanted was some sugar for his dear old granny’s birthday cake. Therefore, he went to ask his neighbor the pig. The pigs’ house was made of straw and the pig wouldn’t let him in. The wolf claimed all he did was sneeze, yet the house blew down. He said “it seemed like a shame to leave a perfectly good ham dinner lying there”. So he ate the little piggy. The exact same happen to the next neighbor that was pig too. The third little pigs house was different. The wolf sneezed and sneezed but nothing happen. The police were called and the Big Bad Wolf been in jail ever since.

I would read this story as a child at my grandparent house. The first time I read it, I thought the story was remarkable. I had never thought of the wolf having a side. My favorite picture is the last one, when he is in jail still asking for sugar. As an adult I found it funny that the policemen were pigs.

This book is good for explaining point of view to children. Before reading this story, I would talk about the original version. After reading the story, I would have the students compare the two stories. The students could also make a newsletter of other original stories, and adding their own little twist to the stories. Discuss the wolf’s feeling about the situation, talk about how there’s two sides to ever story.

Did the story of the three little pigs ever seem slightly biased to you? All that huffing and puffing--could one wolf really be so unequivocally evil? Finally, we get to hear the rest of the story, 'as told to author Jon Scieszka,' straight from the wolf's mouth. As Alexander T. Wolf explains it,

the whole Big Bad Wolf thing was just a big misunderstanding. Al Wolf was minding his own business, making his granny a cake, when he realized he was out of a key ingredient. He innocently went from house to house to house (one made of straw, one of sticks, and one of bricks) asking to borrow a cup of sugar. Could he help it if he had a bad cold, causing him to sneeze gigantic, gale-force sneezes? Could he help it if pigs these days use shabby construction materials? And after the pigs had been ever-so-accidentally killed, well, who can blame him for having a snack?

This story is told from the wolfe's point of view from the original story of the three little pigs. He explains that the whole big bad wolfe thing is a huge misunderstanding. He tells how he had a bad cold, and he only needed to borrow a cup a sugar from his neighbors who were the three little

pigs. After "sneezing" the 1st and 2nd pigs houses fell down on top of them, and he only ate them so that they wouldn't waste. When he went to the 3rd pigs house, he insulted his grandmother so he then became upset. When the cops came and arrested him he was angry and so came the big bad wolfe nickname.

I love this book. It is one of my all time favorites. It's cleverly written, and has excellent illustrations. The 1st grade group I read to, loved it as well. They thought it was funny, and wanted me to read it again.

As an activity I would read both the original and retold story and have the children draw sequencing pictures of the story they liked best.

In a twist on the classic story, A. Wolf claims that he's been framed by those ornery little pigs. In an innocent quest for a cup of sugar (to bake his sweet old granny's birthday cake), the wolf 'accidently' kills each of the pigs, and only then eats them to prevent the plump bodies from going to

Clever, funny illustrations. Fractured fairy tale.A humorous rendition of the traditional fairy tale. This version of the 3 Little Pigs is told from the wolf's point of view. He makes a convincing case for his innocence, stating in the end that he was framed.
it will make any age laugh!

The version I have one part is in English and the other part is in Spanish. I am able to read Spanish. The illustrations are wonderful the cover of the book just grabs your eye. It's the story of the 3 Little Pigs but told from the perspective of the wolf. The wolf is baking a cake for his granny

and realizes that he needs a cup of sugar. The Wolf is sick. Wolf goes to the first pig's house to borrow a cup of sugar. He sneezes, and blows straw the house down. The pig is killed by the house falling down, so the wolf figures why waste food. The same thing happens at the stick house but when he comes to the brick house that pig won't let him borrow sugar. The Wolf says the pigs insults his granny and this causes him to become angry. As the cops pull up to the brick house, they see Wolf banging on the door. And as he says the rest is history and Wolf ends up behind bars.

This is a book about the classical tale of the three pigs but with a twist. Instead of seeing the pigs point of view you see the wolves. The wolf describes the whole story and changes the perspective of what we usually know. This would be a great way to have students write about folk tales or fairy

Alexander T. Wolf, A. Wolf, tells the story of the three little pigs the way it really happened. He needed a cup of sugar to bake a birthday cake and went to see if the pigs would lone him any. He had a bad head cold and by the time he got there, he had worked up a real monster of a sneeze. It was

This hilarious retelling of the Three Little Pigs is very popular for a reason - it's great. The story is told from the perspective of the wolf, who claims he was framed. He huffed and puffed on accident, and only ate the pigs because they were dead already and would have gone to waste. It's very
