*The Three Pigs    David Weisner

This is an absolutely fabulous traditional read.  It starts out with the traditional three pigs story and soon develops into an exciting and fun new twist on the traditional tale.  Instead of the three pigs getting their houses blown down and the mean old wolf getting them, the pigs take the story into their own hands {hoofs!} and change there history.  They change themselves into other traditional tales and change the endings and bring those characters to life as well.   It is a terrific and fun read, as well as the amazing illustrations, which help to add to the charm of this childrens literature!  You could use this with any age group and each child would love it and find it fantastic.  It is funny, charming and laugh out loud!  1st grade through 5th grade would benefit from reading this.
