ELEM: Trivas's 3 Pigs book

["Sharron L. McElmeel" <smcelmeel@ESC.CR.K12.IA.US>]

When Helen Oxenbury illustrated Eugene Trivas's "The Three Little Wolves
and the Big Bad Pig," the third method that the Big Bad Pig used to destroy
the wolves' house was by using explosives to blow the house up.  I am told
that when this story was included in a reading series (I think Harcourt;
but it might be Houghton) the third method was changed to have the house
destroyed with a wrecking ball, I believe.  In-between the trade book
edition and the basal series inclusion, the Oklahoma bombing took place.
Oxenbury is English.  My question is this.  Can anyone confirm the series
this story is included in; and can anyone tell me if there has been a
similar revision in subsequent trade/paperback editions of this story?  AND
did Oxenbury create the changed illustration for the basal series version?
TIA.
Sharron
