Japanese edition of The Three Pigs, the winner of the 2002 Caldecott Medal. Children, young teenagers, and adults, too, will find great pleasure and humor in the unexpected turns of this tale. Read 2,435 reviews from the world’s largest community for readers. But this time, the pigs take charge, and the dragon makes a very powerful ally. Their continued passage through different books eventually leads them back to the original story.
When the dragon is about to be slain, the pigs help him escape. They leave with the cat-and-the-fiddle tagging along, entering a tale of castles and dragons. A rough landing leads to a scary foray in a nursery rhyme book full of saccharine illustrations.
Published in 2001 by Houghton Mifflin/Clarion, the book is based on the traditional tale of the Three Little Pigs, though in this story they step out of their own tale and wander into others, depicted in different illustration styles. They cavort with glee against the otherwise blank pages, then fold one into a paper airplane, board it, and soar into the air. The Three Pigs is a children's picture book that was written and illustrated by David Wiesner. And though it takes the wolf a little while to notice, the three little pigs have, indeed, made their escape. It all starts out quite fine and familiar with “once upon a time,” but things quickly take a very unusual turn in David Wiesner’s brilliantly conceived version of “The Three Little Pigs.” “Hey, he blew me right out of the story!” exclaims the first little pig after the wolf does his huffing and puffing.
