The Three Little Pigs (Fairy Tale)

By: Steven Kellogg

This is not the traditional story of the three little pigs. The three pigs (Percy, Pete, and Prudence) get the family waffle business when their mom decides to retire and move to the Gulf of Pasta. When the mean wolf, Tempesto, wants bacon, ham, and sausage for breakfast the three little pigs need help. When a paper airplane with a message of help flies through the window and lands in her food, she heads home. When she gets there, she helps her three little pigs put the waffle machine in the fireplace. When Tempseto comes down the chimney he burnt by the machine. The meanness is burnt out of him. The Pig family loads him into a cab and sends him to the Gulf of Pasta in Serefinia,s place. They all live happily ever after. I would use this book to compare and contrast different versions of the Three Little Pigs fairy tale. Students could see the similarities between the different versions of The Three Little Pigs.
