The True Story of The 3 Little Pigs


Author: Jon Scieszka
Illustrator: Lane Smith

Witty and menacing yet disconcertingly plausible. Brings into question the motivation of the press.

Story sack ideas: toys of pictures for the wolf and the pigs, a non-fiction book about pigs or wolves, a newspaper.

The Rabbit Problem


Author: Emily Gravett
Illustrator: Emily Gravett

Follows the format of a calendar and a family of rabbits. Their field quickly becomes overcrowded and signs in the book follow the Fibonacci sequence of the breeding rabbits.

Story sack ideas: a Fibonacci game, toy rabbits, a calendar game, photos of rabbits, a ration book, a knitting pattern, wool, a non-fiction rabbit book, seeds, a newspaper, a toy carrot, a cookery book
