Review # 1 was written on 2020-02-16 00:00:00 Allen Gugar This book has only a few small words on each page making it a good book for beginner readers, with very detailed pictures to help explain. In the end of this book the pigs realize that it was the house of bricks that kept them safe and that it is important to use strong building materials. This can be true in our lives as well because we have to use strong materials to build a strong foundation otherwise we will not be strong or successful. I do wonder why the author chose to end this retelling with the wolf jumping down the chimney and ending in the pig's soup pot. I was surprised at the ending because the last words are "Mmm! Good soup!" It almost put more emphasis on the soup rather than the pigs teamwork to keep the wolf away. All in all i thought it was a good retelling of a very classic animal tale. The pigs were able to outsmart the wolf and stay safe in their brick house and it showed teamwork and proved that a strong foundation outlasts the weaker ones in the end.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-04-17 00:00:00 Nathan Johnson Copyright- 1998 Number of Pages-32 Book format-hardcover Reading Level- Lexile Measure-120L GR Level- 5-6 years Genre- Fiction Lit. Requirement- Traditional Literature-1 This is a rendition of the classical tale of The Three Little Pigs. It is similar to the original in that there are three houses made by pigs, including, one made of straw, one of sticks and one of bricks. A wolf comes by each house and says, "Little Pig, Little Pig, Let Me In!" In which each pig replies, "Not by the hair on my chinny-chin-chin!" And the wolf blows two of the houses down. In ways that are different with this version from the original are that the wolf is riding a bike to go to each pig's house which is a more modern twist from the traditional. Also, none of the pigs are eaten they just run to the next pig's house and in the end the wolf climbs in a chimney of the third pig's house and falls into a pot in the fireplace then runs away. So in some minor details it is more modern and less violent by the pigs being eaten, but still has the same message. This would be a good story for a fairy tale unit as a way to begin a lesson with a traditional fairy tale. Kids will most likely enjoy it, and it is a beginner book for easy readers so the text is simple and helpful being mainly sight words.I enjoyed this version of the book and I think many other children will too.
