Representaion Conducive To Books The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig
When it comes time for the three little wolves to go out into the world and build themselves a house, their mother warns them to beware the big bad pig. But the little wolves' increasingly sturdy dwellings are no match for the persistent porker, who has more up his sleeve than huffing and puffing. It takes a chance encounter with a flamingo pushing a wheelbarrow full of flowers to provide a surprising and satisfying solution to the little wolves' housing crisis.Eugene Trivizas's hilarious text and Helen Oxenbury's enchanting watercolors have made this delightfully skewed version of the traditional tale a contemporary classic.

I used this book during my Year 1/2 placement during SBT2. The class engaged with the story and its illustrations. There is an audio tape version such they loved as they could enjoy the various sounds effects from the text. There are various English opportunities within this text, perfect for an extended scheme of work! My class enjoyed writing character descriptions and making chocolate mud cakes for the Big Bad Pig. Links to Three Little Pigs for alternative book endings!The traditional English fairy-tale about the three little pigs and their various confrontations with a big bad wolf is inverted here, as three little wolves go out into the world and attempt to make a home for themselves. Warned by their mother about the dangers posed by the big bad pig, the wolves build themselves a secure brick house, only to watch their dastardly porcine enemy bring it down with a sledgehammer.

NO! Dynamite, really? Then, you by some flowers and we are all happy... Really?

I really enjoyed reading The Three Little Wolves and The Big Bad Pig and I think it is perfect for children in key stage one. It was a great twist on the original story of the Three Little Pigs and The Big Bad wolf. The story had really interesting vocabulary and it was a great way for children to learn words such as pneumatic drill!

This is a clever take on the Three Little Pigs book however there is a twist. The three wolves set off to build a house and firstly build a house made of bricks which is different to the original house built by the pigs. However the big bad pig knocks this house down. Whichever building materials the wolves use the big bad pig manages to knock it down so eventually they try a new material - flowers. This book uses repetition which is an effective feature for young children and each page contains
The classic illustrations from Helen Oxenbury do not disappoint, so beautiful. This story is a great twist to the three little pigs version. A very unexpected building material makes a world of a difference for all the characters in this book.
My niece and nephew both liked this book. My niece is older and is familiar with The Three Little Pigs, so she really enjoyed how this book turned that tale on its head. She laughed at several of the twists and turns, and she was eagerly anticipating how the Three Little Wolves would outsmart the Big Bad Pig. I think the story really lost steam for her, though, with the building of the final house, and the pig's conversion to gentleness. I do think she appreciated the story a great deal, but I
