David Wiesner
This Caldecott Medal-winningÂ picture book begins placidly (and familiarly) enough, with three pigs collecting materials and going off to build houses of straw, sticks, and bricks. But the wolfâ€™s huffing and puffing blows the first pig right out of the story . . . and into the realm of pure imagination. The transition signals the start of a freewheeling adventure with characteristic David Wiesner effectsâ€”cinematic flow, astonishing shifts of perspective, and sly humor, as well as episodes of flight. ,Satisfying both as a story and as an exploration of the nature of story, The Three Pigs takes visual narrative to a new level. Dialogue balloons, text excerpts, and a wide variety of illustration styles guide the reader through a dazzling fantasy universe to the surprising and happy ending. Fans of Tuesdayâ€™s frogs and Sector 7â€™s clouds will be captivated by old friendsâ€”the Three Pigs of nursery fame and their companionsâ€”in a new guise.
