Tell The Truth, B.B. Wolf (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
Continuing with our exploration of fractured fairytales, this one looked like a good pick. Sadly, it didn’t *quite* happen for me. The story begins okay with B.B Wolf being invited to share his story at a library storytime. He soon finds that his audience is not going to let him get away with his version of the truth. But then at the point where you think the story should end…it doesn’t . The book went a little long (and rambly) for me. This is yet another book putting a new spin on the three little pigs fairytale. The wolf is invited to tell his side of the story, and is forced to admit he was wrong. He wants to right the wrong he has done, so he recruits the help of other fairytale villians and builds a new house for the 3 pigs. In the process the wolf earns a new title. Introduces some new vocabulary, and the illustrations are very choppy and cutout looking, so it looks interesting. Great for a prediction lesson, because it is different from the actual fairy tale. Would also be good book to illustrate text to text connections.

A cute picture book. I used it to teach the writing trait of voice to my class.
