The following is an example of a Panther Read-A-Thon

   I read The Three Little Pigs by David Weisen.  The main characters in the book are the three pigs and the big bad wolf.  The story took place in the forest.  The problem was the wolf blew down two of the pigs' houses.  In the end, the wolf couldn't blow down the brick house owned by the third pig.  The wolf climbed on top of the house's roof, fell down the chimney into a pot of boiling water and was eaten by the three pigs.

   I am very different from the wolf.  I have tried to blow down houses and couldn't but the wolf could blow down a house.  The wolf is very hairy and I am not.  I have never tried to kill a pig and the wolf has.  This is how I am different from the wolf.
