The True Story of the Three Little Pigs

This hilarious retelling of the Three Little Pigs is written in the wolf's perspective! This story lets the reader know that the whole thing was a misunderstanding and an accident. The wolf tells readers that he had a bad cold and that was what caused him to blow down the pigs' houses. It is very entertaining. 

This book would work wonderfully for a read aloud, and could also be incorporated into a lesson about perspective or point of view.
