Welcome to Litsy!

This children's book won the Caldecott Medal. This story has many renditions where it is told slightly different or has slightly different characters. This one is about the wolf and the three pigs. The three pigs all build houses that they think will with stand anything. The wolf comes along seeking sugar, however, he really wants the pigs for dinner. This is a classic story that is entertaining and fun for kids to listen to. I highly suggest.

“I had a terrible sneezing cold. I ran out of sugar”

If cheeseburgers were cute, folks would probably think you were big and bad too

Having different variations of a story is fun. It is also important to children to see how literature can change and adapt.

A different take on the classic story. This story is told from the perspective of the wolf. The wild tells his perspective and says this is the true story. Wolf was making a cake for grandmother, and needed a cups of sugar.

I think this is a great book for dissecting motivations and compare and contrast

I loved this book. It is a truly funny perspective to see the character we all know as the villain try to justify his actions and retell the story as the “victim” . This book is quick and so fun

So they jazzed up the story with all of that “Huff and puff and blow your house down.“

I think this book is an excellent way to discuss point of view. When this story is told in the point of view of the wolf the reader gets an entirely different story than the classic tale.

This version of the classic tale is hilarious as it is told in the wolf's perspective. The wolf explains how everything was a misunderstanding and how the story was blown out of proportion. The illustrations are great and the story always gives me a laugh.

This story takes our traditional tale of the 3 pigs and flips it on its head. It tells us a new story from a new perspective, the wolf. Victimizing himself and trying to get you to see his side of things.

“That's when my nose started to itch. I felt a sneeze coming on. Well I huffed. And I snuffed. And I sneezed a great sneeze.“

This is a hilarious spin off as it tells the story of the three little pigs as the wolf explains why he is not the bad guy. This story is a classic to tell students especially the grades K-3rd.

This story tells the story of the three little pigs from the wolf's perspective. He tries to tell his side of the story and a different perspective. The illustrations make the images pop out of the page.

“I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down!“

Shows kids that not everyone is the same and there are different approaches to different ideas.

The three little pigs all build houses made of different materials. The big bad wolf comes through and tries to blow them all down and ruin their creations!

I LOVE this book, it is so cool to see the story of the traditional tale from another point of view.

I think this is the last entry into the list of stories based on the tale of the big bad wolf and the three little pigs that I could get my hands on via local library systems. It's been a diverting side quest, certainly, to see the different twists and perspectives chosen. I do love a retelling! #picturebook #eveningreading #eveningread

The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs by Jon Sciezka, is a spin-off of one of everyone's favorites, The 3 Little Pigs. This book is told from the wolf's perspective! He claims that he's not this big bad wolf that everyone made him out to be. All he was trying to do was knock on a few neighbors doors to find some sugar to make a birthday cake for his grandma! It wasn't his fault that the pigs built their houses in unsteady ways! #ucflae3414sp21

Cannot wait to create a lesson around this twist on a classic! Alexander T. Wolf decides it is time to share his side of the story in this award-winning (ALA Notable Book, Young Readers Choice Award, School Library Journals Top 100 Picture Books, New York Times Best Seller) book. It seems that all of his bad behavior identified in the story of the Three Little Pigs was a big misunderstanding and call all be logically explained. He was framed!

Who wouldn‘t want to hear the story of the 3 little pigs from the Wolf‘s perspective?

This book is a TL picture book perfect to introduce traditional literature to children. This story tells the famous story of The 3 Little Pigs that has been around for centuries. It has also received the Caldecott Award in 1993. www.scholastic.com has great extension activities for this book, like ‘A Letter to A. Wolf‘ where students can write a letter to the wolf asking him questions. #UCFLAE3414SP20

The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs is a TL story written by Jon Scieszka. It's won the award of the New York Times Best Illustrated Book. It tells the tale of the 3 Little Pigs from the perspective of the wolf in a witty and humorous way. The wolf is basically telling his story from inside of the jail, and he was just trying to get sugar to make his grandmother a cake. I enjoyed the illustrations in this book, done by Lane Smith. #UCFLAE3414SP20

My daughter started a new volunteer gig yesterday- reading to the kitties at the animal shelter to help them get more socialized.

I really enjoyed this traditional literature book, because the language was very lively and can engage students quick. I also liked how the illustrations added a whole new meaning to the book, showing them climbing out of their pages.

But like you said, the whole big bad wolf thing is all wrong.

I would use this book in my classroom, because it‘s creative with how the pigs leave the book and start their own adventure.

“But like I said, the whole big bad wolf thing is all wrong.“ This is what the wolf says at the beginning, and captures the reader's attention.

Before I shared this story, I'd make sure the kids have heard the original first, because you can't truly appreciate this book otherwise.

“The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs“ by Jon Scieszka, 1996. Traditional literature. I thought this was a very creative book! It's a spin on the original, and tells the story from the wolf's point of view. This teaches the kids a very important message; that there are two sides to every story!

“If cheeseburgers were cute, folks would probably think you were Big and Bad, too.“

I would use this in my future classroom because children would really enjoy the spin of a classic story that they love. Also, they would enjoy the goofy parts of the story.

This book is a fun twist on the classic 3 little pigs story where the story is told from the wolf's perspective. In regards to Traditional Literature, this book pulls from the original source and has a simple and engaging plot. The illustrations extend the story with the newspaper imagery and the language is lively and engaging.

“I'm gonna huff and puff and blow your house down“

I would use this in my classroom as a unique tradition book to show kids repetition because of the repetition in the phrases they say.

The illustrations in this traditional literature really show what the story is about and provides a fun way to follow along. The language in this book is very lively and follows the oral traditions of the 3 little pigs.

“I am the wolf. Alexander T. Wolf. You can call me Al.“

This book is good for children to help show them that there are two sides to every story. For so long they have been told the story of the three little pigs, now it is time they hear it from the other side.

This book has held up over time. I remember reading it as a child, and decided to share it with my 2 yr old. We have been listening to it on Scribd and she absolutely LOVED it! The narration was fantastic aND she couldn't control her giggles at the sound of the Wolf sneezing. Highly recommend this fun, fast read/listen. 5🌟

The New York Times Best Seller, The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs, quickly became a modern classic that put a new perspective on one of the most famous “tails” in TL. What about the wolf‘s side of the story? The wolf describes what he feels really happened the day the pigs treated him so poorly. #ucflae3414fl19

This book takes a classic folktale, and changes the point of view to turn into a fantastic f picture book. This book tells the story of the three little pigs, but from the big bad wolf's point of view. Actually, it is told from Al's point of view, that's the big bad wolf's real name. According to Al we all have heard the wrong story. It was all a big bad understanding. #ucflae3414f19

“But maybe you could loan me a cup of sugar?”

The illustrations were my favorite part.
