Three Little Pigs
Is Three Little Pigs appropriate for your child? See the reviewed age guidance, content cautions, positive themes, and supporting evidence below.
The two pigs building houses of hay and sticks scoff at their brother, building the brick house. But when the wolf comes around and blows their houses down (after trickery like dressing as a foundling sheep fails), they run to their brother's house. And throughout, they sing the classic song, "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?".
