I was inspired yesterday to start a new category, "Book and a Snack". We all know know how fun it is to read with your kids, so I'll feature a book and a snack to go with it each week. That way, you can discuss the book or have some imaginative play with the snack. It's a great way to spend some quality time together or you can use it for part of a school lesson. If you have a great book you'd like a snack for, please let me know!
This week's Book:
The True Story of the Three Little Pigs by A. Wolf
by John Scieszka
This is a hilarious adaptation of the traditional story, told from the wolf's point of view. He was an innocent victim just trying to borrow a cup of sugar! The witty humor is really for a little older kids (6 and up) but my younger girls still thought it was funny.
THREE PIGS SNACK from Family Fun Magazine
1 C. potato sticks
1 C. pretzel sticks
1 C. chocolate chunks (buy them or just chop up a chocolate bar)
Mix all and serve. Eat them before they blow away!:)

book and a snack -- great idea!!
i've really enjoyed all the "true story" fairytales coming out lately, and we did like this one.
we'll be trying your snack -- nothing better than salty and sweet together!
my kids also love pigs in a blanket (homemade crescent rolls wrapped around a hotdog).
I can't wait to see more:)
