Gracie: My favourite part is when the wolf says to the third pig, “Yo Bacon! I’m not scared of you.” It’s funny.
Pheonix: Pork Chop! Pork Chop! I like that part best. The first pig did better than every pig and the wolf too. He did a little better than that first pig. I like when pig #3 was learning.Įthan: The first pig fell asleep and he did akido. Shereese: That was funny when pig #1 fell asleep. Why did the first pig and the second pig not listen? I was thinking about the Three Little Pigs Book. Vicky: My favourite part was when the third pig showed karate to the wolf. “ Yes! Girls! They are full of determination!”Ī fan of pig power? Girl power? Stories where the bullies don’t win? This book delivers! Kiya! When I read this book to my own children, my daughter cheered at the end. One student interrupted, “ Hey! Hold on! I didn’t know there was a girl.” But while students were writing their reviews, a few girls mentioned to me that they were happy that the smart pig was a girl pig. There was some surprise that the third pig was female. She was ready to take on this wolf and realizing he was outrivaled, the wolf retreated, making the third little pig a hero! The wolf might have tried to be brave as he hurled a few choice insults at the pig, calling her bacon and claiming not to be intimidated, but we knew he was scared.
When Pig Three announced that she was a “ certified weapon,” a hush fell over the room.
Unfortunately, the first two pigs had not paid enough attention to the learning and practice necessary to become masters of their chosen martial art. All of the action scenes, the bravado, the humour has huge kid appeal and we were hooked completely. Santat’s illustrations are so engaging and the students all strained to get close up looks of the pictures. Akido, jujuitsu and karate! Wow, we were intrigued. The fact that they went to Ninja School? Absolutely fascinating!Įach pig chose a different martial art to practice. Instantly, we were charmed by these three pigs who were not about to let a big mean wolf boss them around. This was one fun fractured fairy tale! A not to be missed adventure! This was certainly not the Three Little Pigs story we thought we knew! The Three Ninja Pigs by Corey Rosen Schwartz and illustrated by Dan Santat was our BLG book this week! Thank you to Pearl for sharing it with us.
