This is one of my favorite books from when I was younger! I really enjoyed going back and rereading it for my blog. I like that the author decided to twist the story a little so that the wolf doesn't look bad. Scieszka has a very interesting writing style; he uses a lot of sarcasm. I like that his style of writing is very distinct. I always know when I'm reading a book by him without looking at the author. I think this would be an interesting book to read to students, paired with the original three little pigs story, to teach point of view in writing. Students would be able to participate activly in a discussion about the differences between Scieszka's version and the original. Students may also be interested in writing about whether they believe the wolf really was good or bad. Each version of the story persuades readers in different ways. It would be interesting to share what the students believe and why they side with either the wolf or the pigs!
