Hello, my name is Jennie. Are you ready for a story? This book is about three young pigs and what happens to them when they leave home and build houses of their own. At the top of the front cover are the words fairy tale classics and underneath is the title of the book, The Three Little Pigs in huge shiny blue letters. But oh no, the picture shows three scared looking pigs and a mean wolf giving a big huff and puff. On the right is our first feely picture which shows Horace standing next to his straw house. Start at the top of his head where you’ll find his two little pink piggy ears sticking out of each side of his very round head.
