This Caldecott Medal-winning 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 wolf'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 effects—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 Tuesday's frogs and Sector 7's clouds will be captivated by old friends—the Three Pigs of nursery fame and their companions—in a new guise.
The three pigs escape the wolf by going into another world where they meet the cat and the fiddle, the cow that jumped over the moon, and a dragon.

Wow! Fantastic book! Last night we read the Stinky Cheese Man and other stupid tales and it was trying to turn fairy tales on their head and it was different, but not great the way this book was. This is how you turn a story on its head.
The art is fantastic and fairly easy to understand what is going on. This is the story of taking your own fate into your hands. Stepping back from the story we are stuck in and finding a new way forward. I mean this little work is a work of brilliance in my opinion. Being the fate of your own story. The kids know the story of the 3 little pigs and so they knew that the story had changed. I also think this is a fantastic story for adults to read and absorb the meaning. One level is pure fun and fluff and another level is telling us to stop living the same inner stories we tell ourselves and find a new better way after examining our lives.
David Wiesner is put on my list for this. It's fantastic.
