True Story of the Three Little Pigs

Classroom Selection

     Another fantastic read aloud by Professor O! This fractured fairy tale is told from the wolf’s point of view. It would be a great classroom activity to have students compare this version of the story to others they have read. They could even work in small groups to create their own version of what happened. The wolf’s excuses are sure to remind students of someone they know, themselves! The illustrations are detailed and very humorous. Professor O’s deliver of this story was extraordinary from the pitch of her voice to the movement of her hand gestures, she amazingly had me riveted to her next word. I believe even upper elementary students would enjoy listening to this book. A great recommendation for every classroom library.
