The story of the three little pigs is part of our childhood. After all, who never feared the big bad wolf? We brought a totally different ending to this story so that children can venture out and understand that there are several endings. With these stories we can teach very important things, such as the importance of rethinking your attitudes in order to become a better person.

More about it
Before starting to read the book, you can show the students the movie about the 3 little pigs and work with them on the moral of the story.
The fairy tale "Three Little Pigs" entered popular culture. Originally a short story written in England, it became extremely popular in the United States with Walt Disney's adaptation of the short story. The moral of the story has inspired generations to work hard for success, with the hope that hard work will eventually lead to favorable results.
The main moral lesson learned from "The Three Little Pigs" is that hard work and dedication pay off. While the first two pigs built houses quickly and had more free time to play, the third pig worked on building his brick house. Compared to the other two pigs, the third pig's extra effort was worth it because his house lasted. The idea that taking the time to do a task right has been embraced by many work organizations and preached by teachers and parents of children for many generations.
Then do the same with the book, pointing out all the favorable points of the wolf and the three little pigs, always exalting what was good and needed without being reproduced.
