Author: Robert D. San Souci

Illustrated with morbid hilarity and told in brilliant rhyme, this popular Hallowe’en book is a year round favourite at our house.
Author: Eugene Trivizas
Illustrator: Helen Oxenbury
Published: 2003 Egmont Books
ISBN: 1405209453 Chapters.ca Amazon.com
Every aspect of the traditional tale is reversed to its ridiculous extreme in this perfectly worded and illustrated retelling of “The Three Little Pigs”. I guess it could be seen as light and corny — and maybe this makes me light and corny — but I find this story to be meaningful, relevant and full of hope. After all, wasn’t Einstein’s definition of insanity repeating an action and expecting a different result?
A play based on this book is available for download on the�Egmont website

We love those books. Diane has used them in your classroom through the years. Suddenly is especially good when teaching writing skills. Great episode you two. ;)
