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.

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<http://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: https://web.s.ebscohost.com/novpk8/results?vid=1&sid=f10f39d7-5c91-4100-879c-c7bb02569e9b%40redis&bquery=TR+%22The+three+little+pigs%22+AND+ND+Book&bdata=JnR5cGU9MCZzZWFyY2hNb2RlPUFuZCZzaXRlPW5vdnBrOC1saXZl#:~:text=https%3A//search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx%3Fdirect%3Dtrue%26bquery%3DTR%2B%2526quot%253bThe%2Bthree%2Blittle%2Bpigs%2526quot%253b%2BAND%2BND%2BBook%26type%3D0%26searchMode%3DAnd%26site%3Dnovpk8%2Dlive Best, Heather Heather Wood-Gramza Michigan eLibrary Coordinator Library of Michigan 702 W Kalamazoo St, Lansing, MI 48911 517.335.1497 woodgramzah@michigan.gov<mailto:woodgramzah@michigan.gov> This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Hi all, I know that this version <https://americanliterature.com/childrens-stories/the-three-little-pigs> is one that my grandmother had at her house and fits the description. I'll see if I can find it in book form. It's from 1922. Happy Reading! Stephanie Lawson On Mon, Jun 6, 2022 at 12:55 PM Lorry Traver via Michlib-l < michlib-l@mcls.org> wrote:
