The Three Little Pigs with a Twist

The book The Three Little Pigs with a Twist includes short pieces of text with illustrations on the same page. The story begins with the mother yelling at her three sons and telling them to build themselves houses.
 
Each pig went on their own little way to build their own house. Firstly, one built his house of straw, the second out of sticks and the third built his out of bricks and grey cement sticks. The big bad wolf came along and wanted to cause havoc. At the first house he huffed and puffed the first and second house in. However as the big bad wolf came to the third house built out of bricks he new this would be hard. So the big bad wolf came up with a master plan and carefully went down the chimney. As he was going down the chimney he was thinking how nice the pig would be for lunch. The big bad wolf never at the pig for lunch, the pig had a burning fire below and the wolf fell in it. The pig said "That's for my mum, I would huff and puff and blow you out. But, that's not what this story is all about". The big bad wolf lays on the floor of the pigs house in front of the fire.
 
The Three Little Pigs with a Twist is a book that would be ideal for lower primary years within their guided reading program or a silent reading material. The text includes short sentences and I believe the vocabulary included reflects the year level.
