Truly a culturally different take on an ALL time classic fairytale. Very funny for young students (and adults) but more importantly it is told with a Louisiana "Cajun" flavor" in the Bayou. Trosclair, Thibodeaux, and Ulysse are the pigs and there is even a Glossary in the beginning of the book to help us pronounce some of those "French/African" dialects. Classic!


 * Writing **: Let's write a rendition (or variant) of a classic fariytale. For instance, we ALL the story of the Cinderella. We can change location & time (Ancient Korea), the name (Anna Wong Koh), and make the main character into something else (royalty and only the evil stepmother knows). Then we enter the "classic" portions of the story, but only with different aspects to fit the location and time.
