I LOVE this book! It's one of my favorites, especially with fractured fairy tales. I had a student perform it for speech team in New Prague. He did a wonderful job bringing the wolf to life with a Jersey accent. I love how it's subtitled "by A. Wolf, as told to Jon Scieszka . . . " It definitely could be used in the classroom as an example of perspective and objectivity / subjectivity.
I love this book too! I use it exactly as Jeanne mentioned. I use it to introduce literary lenses (critical literature). How the story itself doesn't change, but the lense through which you see the story changes.
I have always wanted to read this book, so was glad that this group gave me an "out" to read a picture book!
ReplyDeleteGood book to use when introducing that all stories have two sides and that one needs to hear both sides before passing judgement.
