The Three Pigs

Wiesner, D. (2001). The three pigs. New York: Clarion Books. (Caldecott 2002)

The three little pigs escape the clutches of the wolf and find the pages of their story coming out of the book. The pigs end up in two other nursery rhymes and bring a piece of those stories back to their own story and turn the tables of the big bad wolf.  Masterful illustrations "fall" off the page and fun chaos prevails as the pictures turn into a playground of fun for the pigs.

TEKS: Reading/Comprehension of Literary Text/Drama. Students understand, make inferences and draw conclusions about the structure and elements of drama and provide evidence from text to support their understanding. Students are expected to identify the elements of dialogue and use them in informal plays.

Lesson: Because the story doesn’t follow the traditional “Three Little Pigs” nursery rhyme, ask students to make inferences on what will happen next.  Which nursery rhyme will the pigs jump into? Which nursery rhyme would you choose and draw an illustration depicting the pigs in that story.
