The Three Little Pigs

The Three Little Pigs

Dial Books for Young Readers

1989

This is the story of three little pigs. Each of the pigs builds there home out of a different material. When the wolf comes he blows down all of their homes except the last one.

Noteworthy Features:

• Full page, colored pictures
• Very common story, most people know it

I would use this book in the classroom. Students may already be familiar with it, but it would be fun to read with them. You could also do a lesson on sequencing. For example, the students would have to sequence the events of the story, which pigs house was blown down first, etc. Teachers could also use this book to teach students about different materials and how materials have purposes. The teacher can talk about other uses for each of the materials the pigs used. Overall, this is a fun book that teachers could apply into various ways. Teachers can also just read this will students to have students practice reading and enjoy reading.
