Similar to the movie Shrek, all the famous fairy tale characters live near one another and are welcoming the three pigs to the neighborhood. Told through a series of letters, the friendlier characters set up the party as the wolf plots to cause trouble.
Two key teaching opportunities exist: inferencing and letter writing. There are several opportunities to infer meaning from the letters. Based on their officials names in the story, which fairy tales do these characters connect to? What text evidence supports these inferences. The letters contain a "dialog." Questions are asked and answered, then new information is added to contribute to the conversation.
This book is the follow up to Dear Peter Rabbit, but you do not have to read the prequel to appreciate the sequel.
