"I am the dog. I like the light. / I run and jump and bark and bite."

This book can be used to discuss point of view and character traits. Teachers can encourage students to write poems from the perspective of different animals or even inanimate objects.

In this delightful collection, Hall presents two distinct voices: one from a dog and the other from a cat. The poems capture their personalities and their contrasting perspectives on life, making this a fun read for children.

I really liked how this book made the story for believable and entertaining

“Everybody knows the story of The Three Little Pigs. Or, at least, they think they do. The real story is about the three little pigs and the big, bad wolf.“

I could use this book to teach about point of view and perspective. I also could use this book to teach critical thinking and cross-curricular connections by comparing and contrasting the original story to this one.

This book was published in 1989 and it is a humorous and inventive twist on the classic fairy tale. This story is told from the perspective of the Big Bad Wolf and the book presents his version of the story, claiming he was framed for the misfortunes of the three little pigs. This book has very creative story telling and encourages critical thinking about storytelling and bias.
