The Three Little Pigs
Retold and Illustrated: Steven Kellogg
Genre: Traditional Literature
Grades: PK-3
Awards: None
There was a momma pig named Serafina. She had three piglets named Percy, Pete, and Prudence. The momma pig had a dream to bring waffles across the world. She created her own waffle iron and went around her town serving her neighbors. Once Serafina three piglets grew up and graduated from school, she decided to give them her waffle business and retire at the Gulf of Pasta. While taking care of their family business, a wolf named Tempesto decided that he wanted the pigs for breakfast and not the waffles. Percy, Pete, and Prudence ran to their own houses to escape from Tempesto. Tempesto was able to blow down Percy's straw bungalow and Pete's log cabin. All of three pigs were able to make it safe to Prudence brick cottage. Serafina heard that her children were in trouble and made it in time to catch the wolf in their waffle iron and smother him in syrup, butter, and powered sugar. They sent Tempesto away to Gulf of Pasta where he learned his lesson and did not disturb anyone. Percy, Pete, and Prudence all got married and had children. Serafina was able to live her dream as her grandchildren were able grow her waffle business around the world.
I would love to have this book in my classroom as it teaches the students that hard work pays off. Serafina worked hard for her waffle business to grow around the world. It also teaches the students not to be mean or rude like Tempesto as you will get in trouble and your bad schemes will backfire on you. This book would be perfect for Pre-K through third grade. This book would be a great read aloud and have the students practice on sequencing stories. The students could also write a small paragraph of what materials they would use if they were in the situation of the pigs.
