Summary:
This wonderful adaptation of this classic story follows the lives of three little pigs heading off to live on their own. Their mother warns them of the big bad wolf and tells them to be aware. The fist two little pigs build their homes out of materials all to easy for the wolf to blow away. The third little pig builds a strong and reliable home that the wolf can not destroy. The three little pigs set a trap for this wolf, and capture him in boiling water. Then all three little pigs build a sturdy home. The picture adaptations throughout this story are wonderful, and the flip up, and pop ups, just add to the "huffing, puffing, and blow your house down" aspect.

Personal Reflection:
This is a classic story I grew up on. I relate to this by thinking of all the times my parents warned me about strangers and the dangers of the world. It teaches you to be cautious and aware of your surroundings.

Classroom Extension:
1.) We could do a simulation string, paper, and blocks to act as the hay, sticks, and bricks used for making the houses in the book. We would then take turns huffing and puffing and blowing the house down to see which ones are easier or harder to knock over.
2.) We could design our own cartoon set and puppets and reenact the story for a puppet show.… (meer)

Summary
This is the same traditional story of the three little pigs with a few different twists. There are a-lot more details in this story of the three little pigs,but they still have the same happy ending.

Personal reaction
I really liked this story of the three little pigs and the way it was told. It gave more details than i had ever remembered from this story and a very different ending than the one I remembered.
