Porkenstein by Kathryn Lasky illustrated by David Jarvis*

My four year old is pulling this book out often even though it is not close to Halloween!
A story that focuses on the third little pig and how he is lonely after the wolf ate his two brothers.  Since he is an inventor, he decides to invent a friend.  This friend may be more trouble that he is worth . . .until a familiar nemesis appears at the third pig's front door.
A humorous (maybe shocking ending for younger children) ending!
Strategies: connections, predicting, inferring
*Highly recommend.
