Three pigs

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

This story of The Three Pigs adds an unexpected twist to the traditional story we all know.  The little pigs escape the wolf and find some new friends along the way.  At the end of the story, they all return to the brick house. The illustrator’s interesting artistic style gives the characters a sort of 3D look, as they appear to come out of the pages.  There was also a change in the color of the illustrations as they turn from color to pencil sketch to color again.
