** Summary: **
==== This is an incredible children’s book. This book falls under the genre of “fable/fairy tale”. This book is a fable/fairy tale that features “anthropomorphic” pigs that build houses composed of different materials. Three little pigs leave home to seek their fortunes and have to deal with a wicked wolf. In my opinion, this is a great book for young children for many reasons. ====

** Review: **
==== This is a book that repeats many words/phrases. The illustrations of the book are another highlight of this book. They make the story real and allow children to really imagine what is going on throughout the book. After reading this book a few times, children will have the ability to read aloud with you. Students will really enjoy being able to read along with the reader. They can use the common patterns such as “Then, I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house in” in order to read aloud. The pictures will then serve as a guide for the children to fill in the blanks of the story. ====

** Literary Element: **
==== The theme is such an important piece to this book. The theme, I believe, sends a crucial message to its readers. The message that it sends is that you should always build strong. When children grow up and build their houses, they should always choose the strongest option for a multitude of reasons. The story also highlights key concepts such as bravery, unionizing and independence. These are all concepts that young students should be introduced to being that they will need these characteristics, as they grow older. Children can even relate this story to themselves if they have siblings. As you read in the book, the brothers stick together to keep each other safe and children can do the same with their siblings. ====

** Author Review: **
==== The author of this children’s book, Barbara Brenner, is a respected, award-winning author. She is famous for her capabilities as an author/editor. Brenner was born on June 26th, 1925 in Brooklyn, New York. Barbara was nominated for the Edgar Award for Best Young Adult. I could understand these prestigious awards/nominations after reading her books. ====
