The Three Pigs

Wiesner, D.  (2001).  The three pigs.  NY:  Clarion.

This is not the typical Three Little Pigs story that we have all heard many times over.  Once the wolf tries to blow the first little pig away, he actually blows him out of the story.  The illustrations become
three-dimensional and the pigs are flown into an imagination land.  The pigs see the cat from Hey Diddle, Diddle and a dragon.  Finally, they go back to their brick house to end the story from their point of view.

David Wiesner did not write the typical Three Little Pigs story.  As soon as the wolf blows the first house, Wiesner’s 3-D illustrations take the reader into an imaginative new storyline.  The pigs see other fairytale characters until they luckily make it back to their brick home.
