Summary: 

This story retells the classic story of the three little pigs and the wolf, but with a little twist. In this story, the three little pigs go to different martial arts lessons to prepare to take down the wolf. At the end of the story, Pig Three’s dedication to her lessons saved the day and was able to take down the wolf. 

Evaluation: 

Appropriate grade levels for this story would be Kindergarten to 2^nd grade. I don’t think I would actually use this book in my classroom. I would definitely have it in my classroom’s library as it is a funny book with a nice twist to the classic story, but I don’t think I can build some type of instruction with this book. I can possibly do a read aloud during bullying awareness, however, I don’t want to teach my kids to handle bullying with violence so I would have to do more research to see if I could be able to use this book.
