The Three Piglets - Melissa Meyer - Bog

The Three PigletsBy: Melissa MeyerThe Three Piglets incorporates the theme that what is normal and what is necessary, is not always what is right. In a childlike way, it touches on reasons a family may have to separate from one another and how although people may begin as enemies, understanding can lead to friendship. By listening to other views, we can find friendship despite differences.About the AuthorMelissa Meyer grew up in rural eastern North Carolina.
