The Three Little Pigs and the Fox

Bibliographic Information (APA): Hooks, W. (1989). The Three Little Pigs and the Fox. Illus. S.D. Schindler. New York, NY: Aladdin Paperbacks.

Brief Annotation: This is a different spin on the folklore three little pigs. This book is written with a southern twang and is about three little pigs that are forced to leave home. Two of the three pigs are kicked out of their moms house for being too fat and aren't clever enough to outsmart the fox.
Genre: PictureBook, Folk Tale
Grade Level: 1st-3rd
Readers who will like this: Most children that enjoy picture books will enjoy this. Children that like the story of The Three Little Pigs and children that enjoy books that have someone to root for.
Response/Rating (1-4): 3; This book was written in true southern drawl. It was pretty cute. I liked that the girl pig was the more clever one and she figured out how to outsmart the fox. This was a cute way of telling the story of the three little pigs. It wasn't my favorite story of the three little pigs but it was a cute spin.
One question you would ask before a read aloud: Have you ever heard of a pig outsmarting a fox?
