About This Book
Grandma Wolf knows the real story behind the three pigs and their shaky houses — and she's ready to tell it all! With her sharp wit and clever words, she challenges what everyone thinks they know. But can her testimony change the jury's mind and clear her grandson's name?
Quick Assessment
This imaginative retelling of the classic Three Little Pigs tale is told from the perspective of Grandma Wolf, who serves as a key witness in a court trial defending her grandson. Aimed at children ages 9-12, the story creatively explores point of view and uses literary devices like alliteration and metaphor to enrich the narrative. It offers a great opportunity for discussion about perspective and storytelling without containing any notable content concerns.
