Kirsten.Pacheco One of my all time favorite books!! I learned to love reading at a young age with these books (probably because of how silly they are), and I think every kid should read them at least once! Love the activities as well. 6y

The True Story Of The Three Little Pigs is a traditional literature novel, by Jon Sciezska. He tells the story about the three little pigs, from the wolf's point of view. It would be a good story to teach the kids about different point of views. A website that gives some good tools to use, based of the book is https://www.dk.com/us/apps/ #UCFWalterslit

Caitlin4 I liked reading this book. It was a good twist on an old story and I could see it being a good way to teach compare and contrast 6y
Kirsten.Pacheco I also chose this book to write about and I appreciate how it tells it from the wolf‘s point of view instead of the pigs. It shows kids that there is more than one side to every story and not everyone is as bad as people portray them to be. 6y
