This picture book tells the story of the three little pigs from the wolf's perspective. The wolf explains that he was framed and really is not the Big Bad Wolf. He was just trying to get some sugar for baking.





Noteworthy Features:

• It is based off of the well known story of the three little pigs, but told from the perspective of the wolf.
• The pictures are drawn in a cartoon manner. Some of the words are also written with images. 

This book is funny and students will enjoy it. Teachers can read the story of the three little pigs and then this book and discuss similarities and differences. It could also be fun to have the students defend either the pigs or the wolf and decide which story is "the real" story.
