The True Story of the three little pigs was used greatly within my 1st year drama class at secondary school (Ages 11-12)and they loved it. I used the story as a context to do with stereotypes which lead on to many drama activities involving lawyers defending Mr Wolf, the pig community and witnesses of Mr Wolf. This lead on to a court case and even 't.v shows and documentaries' being created by the pupils to re-build or tarnish Mr Wolf's reputation!! An excellent story which created many meaningful, fun and diverse lessons!!

The True Story of the 3 Little Pigsby: Jon Scieszka 2004-12 |
||
|
Finally, after all this time, Alexander T. Wolf (alias "the Big Bad Wolf") emerges to tell his side of the 3 Little Pigs tragedy. Blaming a publicity-frenzied press for exaggerating the truth of the story, he asserts his innocence, rationalizes the nature of the circumstances, and indulges here and there in the art of blaming the victim. While admitting that he did destroy the houses of the first two pigs and eat the unfortunate home-owners, he explains that "the real story is about a sneeze and a cup of sugar."
On the day in question, Mr. Wolf, despite suffering from a bad cold, was making a cake for his dear old granny when he ran out of sugar. Naturally, he went around to his closest neighbors (who happened to be pigs) asking to borrow ... Read More: >>More Details |

"Halt! Vile knaves! Prepare to die!"
So this book begins, the first in the Time Warp Trio series. It is a wonderfully entertaining romp of a book. 3 friends are transported back to the time of King Arthur and have to get back to their own time (1990s New York). This book is EXCELLENT for reading to a class of junior age children: the humour and pace catch them. It is short - so it won't drag on for weeks. It has a definite structure so you can use it for written work ;-) This is probably the most successful of the series and sets up the pattern of plot for many of the rest. Overall: good for children aged 7-11 (and their teachers!) >>More Details |

Squids Will Be Squids: Fresh Morals, Beastly Fables (Picture Puffin)by: Jon Scieszka, Lane Smith August 23, 1999 |
||
|
The stories in this collection are very simple and very simply told. They are less re-working of Aesop’s fables than using animals to make points about some common problems of school children nowadays. In doing this they are often funny. I enjoyed most of these stories, very often those that don’t actually have a moral of any worth (e.g. elephants never forget except sometimes). Admittedly it did take me some time to get used to (or accept?) the stories for what they are and to appreciate the pictures. Meanwhile I find the stories outrageous, fun or thought-provoking. Kids will love them I’m sure. The illustrations (“All the paintings in this book are actually illustrations”) are of a rough and ready kind, with a slightly ... Read More: >>More Details |

The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales (Viking Kestrel Picture Books)by: Jon Scieszka, Lane Smith July 31, 1995 |

Jon does it again for the more reluctant reader as well as the already-hooked. Fairy tales were meant to threaten and warn but in many 'pretty' versions even the demise of the pigs is blood free and smiley. Read about these well-known but not-so-well-known characters again and share them with an adult. Don't forget to hold their hand and leave the light on at bedtime!

Math Curseby: Jon Scieszka September 06, 2007 |

|
This book is great and can be enjoyed by people who like math and those who don't. I read it to my fifth grade class and we laughed so hard that we had to read other books by Scieszka and Smith. We are true fans and look forward to new releases by the two. P.S. If you liked this book, check out the Time Warp Trio series. You'll love them too!
