This book is about the big bad wolf, I mean Alexander T. Wolf. Alexander believes that he was framed. All he was trying to do was borrow a cup of sugar for his granny's birthday cake. He visited each of the three little pigs and they didn't answer the door. After waiting a few minutes at each door he had to sneeze, and every time the house blew down. After each house blew down, there would be a dead pig laying there, and who can resist a free ham dinner? The third house didn't blow down unfortunately and the pig threatened the wolf's granny. The cops showed up and arrested the wolf. Apparently, a story about a wolf isn't good enough, so the police added a twist.
I would use this book in my classroom to teach students about different perspectives and points of views. Students could rewrite stories from different perspectives. This book is great for upper elementary students. For lower elementary students maybe just for read-aloud purposes.
