This is the story of the three little pigs. This story is closer to the real Three Little Pigs. In the story the pigs each want to build their own house out of wood, straw and brick. They ask a human for the supplies. A wolf comes along and blows down the house with the straw. The second pig builds his house out of sticks. The wolf came along, knocked it down and gobbled the little pig up. The third and smartest pig built his of brick. The pig outsmarts the wolf by rolling down a hill in a butter churn. The wolf was angry and tried to jump down the chimney but there was a hot pot of water that he fell into, after this the little pig had a great dinner!

I really enjoyed reading this book. This was one of my favorite stories when i was a little girl, that is why i chose to read it. My favorite part is at the end where the pig is eating his soup and he has on wolf slippers! I thought that this was a funny thing to add.

I would use this in my classroom when comparing/contrasting tales. I made a venn diagram for this book and i could use it in my classroom as an example!
