The Three Little Pigs Worksheets

by Paul Galdone

Lexile 550L · ATOS 3.2

An old sow has no money to keep her three little pigs, so she sends them off to seek their fortune. One builds a house of straw, one a house of sticks and one a house of bricks, and a wolf comes to each door calling, "Little pig, little pig, let me come in." When he cannot huff and puff the brick house in, the wolf tries to trick the third little pig with turnips, apples and a trip to the fair, but the clever little pig stays one step ahead. Paul Galdone's classic retelling of the traditional tale.
