The True Story of the Three Little Pigs

One book that I definitely want to use in my classroom is The True Story of the Three Little Pigs. When I was in elementary school, I remember this book as being one of my all time favorites, and when I am working with children today I still love reading this book to them.

Knowing what I know now, I would say that I liked this book so much because of the point-of-view that it is told from. This book exemplifies the story element of point-of-view. It is not often that you have the opportunity to hear a classic story, such as The Three Little Pigs from a different point-of-view and that is what made the book so fun.

One theme of the book is that you cannot always believe what you hear because not everyone sees a situation the same way. An activity that can help further this theme is to have the students share an experience where they did not see a particular situation the same way that someone else did. Another activity is to have the students write one of their favorite books from a different point-of-view.
