Summary
The True Story of the Three Little Pigs by Jon Scieszka
The True Story of the Three Little Pigs takes the classic tale of the Big Bad Wolf and turns it on its head. In this version, the wolf tells the story from his perspective as a wrongfully punished criminal. Students will thoroughly enjoy comparing and contrasting this new take on a familiar tale while also practicing retelling and summarizing, making inferences, and asking questions at a more sophisticated level.
Watch an online read aloud of The True Story of the Three Little Pigs on KidLit TV here or listen to an audiobook on Epic here.
