My Favourite Book In A Box/Bag
Character’s
Perspective
Favourite Scene
The Three Little Pigs
My Favourite Scene
In this scene, the wolf has been tricked to slide
down the chimney into the pot of hot water. This
is the most important part of the book, because
the pigs take control away from the wolf by
tricking him with his own greed. Now they will be
safe.
Actually, I am
just a poor,
misunderstood
wolf. When I
was young, I
ate a lot of
bacon for
breakfast, so I
really can’t help
myself. Those
pigs are making
my life more
difficult on
purpose. No
wonder I get
frustrated and
try to eat them.
I am an
upstanding
citizen.

sure to talk about the important characters, their opinions and how the choices
they make affect different situations in the book.
