Publisher's Note
This 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.

Industry reviews
"The text is pretty much poker-faced straight man here, with the art pulling the weight of the jokes....This has the advantage over many postmodern reworkings of making a very light reading demand, so kids whose artistic sense is more sophisticated than their verbal perception will appreciate their chance to be in on the joke."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Deborah Stevenson (05/01/2001)

"THE THREE PIGS is a wonderfully playful romp in and out of stories--and possibilities....Visual puns and allusions to other literary works abound in this surprise-packed volume. It's one to be pored over again and again."
Christian Science Monitor  (01/24/2002)
