Satisfying both as a story and as an exploration of story, The Three Pigs takes visual narrative to a new level.
When the wolf comes a-knocking and a-puffing, he blows the pigs right out of the tale and into a whole new imaginative landscape, where they begin a freewheeling adventure as they wander-and fly-through other stories, encountering a dragon and a cat with a fiddle, among others. This familiar tale will never be the same old story again.
"David Wiesner's postmodern interpretation of this tale plays imaginatively with traditional picture book and story conventions and with readers' expectations of both. . . .Wiesner explores the possibility of different realities within a book's pages. . . .There are lots of teaching opportunities to be mined here — or you can just dig into the creative possibilities of unconventionality." — said the distinguished Horn Book Magazine
