The TRUE story of the 3 little pigs by A.Wolf as told to Jon Scieszka. Grandma Annii's Story Time

The wolf is trying to set the story straight of how he came to be 'big and bad'. It's the story of the 3 little pigs from the perspective of Alexander T. Wol...

At the beginning of the story the wolf says “I don't know how this whole big bad wolf thing got started, but it’s all wrong!”

Below is a typical description of the wolf-

 

The Big Bad wolf is the name he is given. He has thick, bushy grey fur with teeth and claws as sharp as an axe. His beady eyes sparkle like diamonds, especially when he spots his next delicious treat that he wants to devour. He is greedy by nature, sly and sneaky and certainly not to be trusted. He particularly likes to eat old ladies and trick innocent little girls with red hoods.

 

Your task is to write an alternative character description of the wolf from a positive point of view; he's not big and bad, he's kind and helpful. 

 

Make sure to include-

  •  how he looks
  • What his character/personality is like
  • Tell the reader how the character acts or behaves to show their personality.

 

Remember to use descriptive language when writing about the wolf so the reader can build a picture of your character. Try to include a simile in your description. Don’t forget capital letters, full stops and you could even use an exclamation mark!
