The Three Ninja Pigs is a spin off of the traditional 3 Little Pigs. It has a rhyming pattern to it that makes it great fun to read and to listen to. While it is written for younger elementary age children it can be used for literacy lessons with older students as well. The Ninja aspect to it adds a fun twist and it contains a great lesson on working hard to complete the task at hand rather than quitting. This book was great! I LOVED sharing this book with my elementary babes. We did this right around the Chinese New Year. I was able to combo that wondrous event, with Bruce Lee (my childhood hero)! I appreciated the fact that the Ninja principles of self-discipline, respect, and harmony with nature were evident. Plus, the kids ADORED the illustrations. I taught them the proper bow/greeting for a sensei and had them all bow and greet their teacher, when she returned to collect them from rotation. She was flabbergasted and impressed. GREAT READ and catalyst for activity! So many of my boys are taking KARATE and they were jumping at the bits to show what they've learned. The glossary of terms at the end of the book, was a nice bonus! :)
Way more entertaining then I expected. Loved the illustrations and the humor.
