The Three Little Pigs: An Old Story (Sunburst Book) Reviews

  Some of my students preferred this version because Zemach does this thing with the illustrations that shows how the wolf moves--I don't really know how to describe it, but we've all seen it before. One students said he preferred this version because the words were more descriptive. I prefer the Galdone's version, I think because the illustrations are "cleaner" and the pigs don't wear clothes.

  Wolf looks like a shikester with his overcoat, top hat and cane. Pigs 1 and 2 are eaten by the wolf, "Yumm-yum!" Wolf tries all sorts of shenanigans to capture Pig 3, each time Pig either outsmarts him or is aided by luck. Wolf is eaten by Pig 3, "Yumm-yum!"

  This is the one I use when I do comparison lessons with little ones on the versions of the story. Fairly straightforward version that is reminiscent of the older versions.

  I like the versions of this story where the pig in the straw house runs to his brother's house when the wolf blows the house down--not the versions where the pig is eaten up. :)

  But otherwise a faithful retelling, although I like the ones better in which the other pigs are saved
