The Three Little Recyclers by Robin Koontz

Recommended for Ages 3+

Video Summary

The Three Little Pigs each build a new house out of recycled materials. The first pig uses cardboard boxes, the second pig uses glass bottles and the third pig uses tin cans. On garbage day, the wolf drives the garbage truck to the first pig’s house and the truck eats all the cardboard. He drives to the second pig’s house and the truck eats all the glass bottles. He goes to the third pig’s house but the truck cannot eat the tin cans because they are too strong. The third pig tells the wolf that the tin cans are not garbage, they are his house! The wolf drives away.
