Walter Elias “Walt” Disney (December 5, 1901 – December 15, 1966) was an American film producer, director, screenwriter, voice actor, animator, entrepreneur, entertainer, international icon, and philanthropist. Disney is famous for his influence in the field of entertainment during the 20th century. As the co-founder (with his brother Roy O. Disney) of Walt Disney Productions, Disney became one of the best-known motion picture producers in the world. The corporation he co-founded, now known as The Walt Disney Company, today has annual revenues of approximately U.S. $35 billion.

Disney is particularly noted for being a film producer and a popular showman, as well as an innovator in animation and theme park design. He and his staff created some of the world's most famous fictional characters including Mickey Mouse, a character for which Disney himself was the original voice. He has been awarded four honorary Academy Awards and has won twenty-two competitive Academy Awards out of fifty-nine nominations, including a record four in one year, giving him more awards and nominations than any other individual. He also won seven Emmy Awards. He is the namesake for Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resort theme parks in the United States, as well as the international resorts Tokyo Disney, Disneyland Paris, and Disneyland Hong Kong.

Disney died of lung cancer in Burbank, California, on December 15, 1966. The following year, construction began on Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. His brother Roy Disney inaugurated the Magic Kingdom on October 1, 1971.

The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS) (commonly referred to as Disney) is the largest media and entertainment conglomerate in the world in terms of revenue. Founded on October 16, 1923, by brothers Walt Disney and Roy Disney as the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio, the company was reincorporated as Walt Disney Productions in 1929. Walt Disney Productions established itself as a leader in the American animation industry before diversifying into live-action film production, television, and travel. Taking on its current name in 1986, The Walt Disney Company expanded its existing operations and also started divisions focused upon theatre, radio, publishing, and online media. In addition, it has created new divisions of the company in order to market more mature content than it typically associates with its flagship family-oriented brands.

The company is best known for the products of its film studio, the Walt Disney Motion Pictures Group, today one of the largest and best-known studios in Hollywood. Disney also owns and operates the ABC broadcast television network; cable television networks such as Disney Channel, ESPN, and ABC Family; publishing, merchandising, and theatre divisions; and owns and licenses 11 theme parks around the world. On January 23, 2006, it was announced that Disney would purchase Pixar in an all-stock transaction worth $7.4 billion. The deal was finalized on May 5. On December 31, 2009, Disney Company acquired the Marvel Entertainment, Inc. for $4.24 billion. The company has been a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average since May 6, 1991. An early and well-known cartoon creation of the company, Mickey Mouse, is the official mascot of The Walt Disney Company.

When I was a child of three
Sitting on my mother's knee
She would read this tale to me
I would listen as she spoke
Oh, what magic she'd evoke
In the child that once was me.

Then my children gathered round
Listening with glee
Creating memories of that time
When mum read this tale to me

My grandchildren come to stay
One sits upon my knee
You cannot hear the smallest sound
Their eyes are filled with glee
When I read this tale to them
That my mum read to me.

***Read and reviewed with my niece Emma***
(When she was 4 and I was 41)

The greatest story ever told? Quite possibly!

I think it's Emma's favorite, even though I don't think she's quite caught on to the think-ahead, strength-in-numbers, build-it-to-last concepts yet. She just seems to like to follow along with the exciting story and listen to my increasingly over-the-top Big Bad Wolf impressions. By the time we're done with this story I'm going to need a wind machine.

I believe the Little Golden Book version was the one I had as a kid. The one Emma and I read was different. It lacked info on the author, who published it and when. There was nothing but the title, the story text and illustrations. Little bit odd how kids' books do that. I guess it's a public domain thing. Whatever. It matters not, because we pretty much love this story! We've read it a number of times and will no doubt continue to read it again and again.

What a hard read.

[Angela Ferrari · Rating 4 out of 5]

The pigs know they have to build their house. But the reason Ive always loved this book is it shows the differences among the siblings and it is much like real life. There is usually one who has to take care of the others mistake and they don't ask questions, just open their doors to family. I wonder why they never went back to moms house??
Theme- brothers, mistakes, survival, sticking together

[Desiree Zempel · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed "Three Little Pigs" by Al Dempster, because it is a little kid’s book but it also allows you to think like a kid again. I understand the authors’ message in this book. Not only what he is saying but how he feels as he writes this book.

The book is told through third person perspective. The three little pigs are trying to find a way to keep their houses strong to keep the big bad wolf away. No matter what happens to the three little pigs they are always there for each other.

"Three Little Pigs" takes place in each of the little pig’s homes. The setting is significant to the story, because it’s about the wolf trying to blow their houses down. The time period is not stated.

The theme I noticed in the book "Three Little Pigs" was staying strong together. Not only in this book do the pigs stick together but you always need that one person by your side through everything in life.

I would recommend this book to children ages five to seven and adults. This book is adorable and has cute pictures that anyone could enjoy.

My kids really love this book. I think they really enjoy it because they play out the story, and their dad plays the wolf. Well, most of us know how the story goes. There are three little pigs who know that the wold is coming. The three little pigs decide to go their separate ways and build their own houses. As the story continues, the wolf blows down house one and house two. The little pigs
From house 1 and 2 run to the third house. The wolf cannot blow this house down, so he tries to force himself in. The three little pigs come up with a plan and the wolf ends up with a burnt behind and runs away.
I truly love this book especially because I have three little pigs of my own. I have three boys and they don't always see eye to eye. However, this book always reminds them how they have to stick
together when they run into trouble. Together they are stronger then they are alone. Love this book.

Pretty much the perfect book for children. Sing-song parts, rhymed parts, great illustrations, and a good moral to the story. Little Golden Books are the best. Love.

Want to read about the classic traditional story of the three little pigs? This book is well written, just on that story! In this book, we follow three little pigs who each build their house with different materials: straw, sticks, and bricks. A wolf comes by and blows down the first two houses, but is not able to blow down the brick house. This was well written because it follows the norms of traditional literature, the genre of this book, by passing down the story as it was. It was written just like how I remember hearing it as a child. The main themes of the story would be that hard work and determination pay off because though some might try to find shortcuts and finish early when doing work, it will not turn out to be of as same quality as someone who worked to do their best, which will hinder them in the future. This was a WOW book for me because it gave me nostalgia for my childhood, reading this story. Two literary devices in the book were repetition with the huff and puff line and personification with the wolf and pigs being human-like. I thought this book was anti-biased because it was just used to teach children not to take shortcuts and work hard.

This book is about three little bigs who decide to go their separate ways to build their own houses after knowing that the wolf is coming. The wolf cannot blow the houses down at first but then the wolfs ends up blowing the house down and runs away. The wolf uses tricks to try to eat the pigs.
The illustrations, plot, and use of language is seen through the pictures in the book. I love how the talking animals are portrayed in this book. Readers enjoy to know who the protagonist and antagonist is as the story goes in sequence. It also teaches children that it is important to stick together.
1. Have children create their own house
2. Discuss with children the moral of this story after reading it

[Melissa Marra · Rating 5 out of 5]

"The Three Little Pigs" by Al Dempster is a great traditional read for children in the grades kindergarten through first grade. Since children are introduced to this tale at a young age, they might be able to predict what will happen next. The pigs are on a mission to build a house that is wolf proof. Will they be able to do it? This is a good read to engage the children with questions throughout the story. Even though this story is based in fantasy land, I could change my lesson to teach them about pigs and wolves as I go through a farm lesson. This book is a fun read, and can be added to any lesson.

[Madison Seniuk · Rating 3 out of 5]

1. None
2. Ages 3-7
3. This story is about three little pigs and a wolf. The little pigs are innocent and the big bad wolf is ruining their houses they were building. The wolf is able to blow down two of the three houses that were built but wasn't able to blow down the third.
4. This is a fun book to read because all children should know this story, so they will get excited to read it. Also, the pictures are super cute and fun and really help tell the story as well.
5. This is a classic that should be read to all children. This is a good book for the classroom because it teaches the children the idea of fairytales.

This is a story about three little pigs who build three different houses out of different materials. The first pig builds his out of straw and the big bad wolf comes and blows this little pig house down. The second little pig builds his house out of sticks and the same thing happens with the big bad wolf. Finally, the third pig built his house out of bricks and the big bad wolf was unable to destroy this little pig house. I loved this book growing up as a kid! The illustrations in this book are also very good! This book wasn’t very diverse because it was about animals and not humans. I recommend this folktale to children ages 2-5.

[Jerrica Yadon · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have chosen this book because it is a classic book. Not only is it a classic but it is great for retelling because there is a repetition with the wolf, which helps students follow along and be able to help retell that part of the story, even if they forget other parts. Students need easy books for retelling the story in order to learn the way books read and how there is a beginning, middle, and end. Plus the pictures are great and very helpful for retelling the story as well. The pictures can give the students hints when retelling it. Pictures are one clue that good readers use.

What a fun book! I remember having my parents read this children's book to me several times for the nightly bedtime story. It is perfect for a beginning reader as well, because it has easy wording and bright colorful pictures that enhance the story as it plays along with each turn of the page. I still enjoy this book, even in my young adult life just because of the memories of my childhood it reminds me of. This book is a definite must-read.

[Brianna Knight · Rating 5 out of 5]

Kindergarten through second grade could read this book.
The book is based on the tale of the Three Little Pigs. A big bad wolf blows their houses made of different materials down and ends up eating them.
The book makes the original folktale light and uses amazing illustrations.
I would use it to not only discuss the story but also ask kids to make their own version of it which makes students have to develop a plot and highlight major events.

[Iurii · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is really great! It has a great lesson on how hard working we have to be to achieve our goals. It talks about how the pigs build houses out of different materials. The first two pigs made a lazy decision to build them out of bricks, and the third pig made a house out of bricks. When the wolf comes, he blows away two of the pigs' houses. They seek for help from the third pig, and learn a lesson on taking the easy path.

[Grace Poolman · Rating 5 out of 5]

In this fairytale graphic novel, the original story of the three little pigs unfolds. There are three little pigs and a villain who is the big bad wolf. Each of the pigs build their own homes. The book goes on to see what the wolf does about these houses. I would recommend this book to students of kindergarten age and early readers. There are no diverse characters besides the pigs and the wolf. I enjoyed this book, it was a quick read and a fun short story.
