The Three Pigs

Title: The Three Pigs

Author: David Wiesner

Genre: Traditional Literature

Summary: There were three pigs.

First Pig: built his house out of straw. A wolf came and said “Little pig, little pig, let me come in.” The pig said: “Not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin.” The wolf said: “Then I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house in!” The wolf blew the house down and ate the pig.

Second Pig: built his house out of sticks. A wolf came and said “Little pig, little pig, let me come in.” The pig said: “Not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin.” The wolf said: “Then I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house in!” The wolf blew the house down and ate the pig.

Third Pig: built his house out of bricks. A wolf came and said “Little pig, little pig, let me come in.” The pig said: “Not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin.” The wolf said: “Then I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house in!” The wolf blew the house down and ate the pig.

All three pigs moved on a paper airplane but it crumbed. On their journey, they went to:

-Hey Diddle, Diddle, a land with dragons (they rescued one), a castle with a dragon and Humpty Dumpty

The pigs went to all these different stories and ended up back in their own, but the wolf was I the story book and they were looking at it.

Characters: three pigs, wolf

Setting: all different storybooks

Plot: stay safe from the wolf!

Theme: wolf kept coming and repeated what he said to each pig to scare them

Opinion: I’ve read about the three little pigs more than once, but I especially liked this version. I think that David Wiesner put a nice spin on it, and it showed different children’s story which was very interesting. I had a lot of fun reading this book!
