Hi Lorry,
I find that sometimes patrons are prompted by seeing the covers of books. By going to the Michigan eLibrary at
www.mel.org , you can use Novelist K-8 Plus to find different renditions of this classic tale with cover art. Here’s the permalink to the search I conducted to find various titles:

Subject: [Michlib-l] Searching for Three Little Pigs - Help

Hi all,
I have a patron who is searching for a specific version of The Three Little Pigs but does not recall the author.
The version she has at home is the one where the pigs all get eaten by the wolf.
The one she is looking for is the version where all three pigs end up in the brick house, and the wolf ends up in the pot at the end of the story.
Does anyone know the author of that book? I believe it's the original version and I am ashamed I can't think of the author, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
