The Three Little Pigs

Author/Illustrator: Paul Galdone
Genre: Traditional Literature
Awards: None
Grade: PreK-2nd

This book is about three little pigs and a big bad wolf. The three little pigs were sent off on their own when their mom could no longer care for them. They each built a house, one of straw, one of sticks, and one of bricks. The big bad wolf came to each house and threatened to blow it down. He successfully blew down the houses and ate the first two little pigs. When it came to the third little pig who built his house out of brick it was a little tougher. The wolf played tricks on the pig, but the pig outsmarted the wolf in the end.

I would use this book in my classroom for grades PreK through second grade. It is a classic story that every kid knows and loves. It is an easy read for them because most children know what is coming next. This book would be greatly used in a sequencing or cause and effect unit.
