Description
Satisfying both as a story and as an exploration of story, The Three Pigs takes visual narrative to a new level. When the wolf comes a-knocking and a-puffing, he blows the pigs right out of the tale and into a whole new imaginative landscape, where they begin a freewheeling adventure as they wander-and fly-through other stories, encountering a dragon and a cat with a fiddle, among others. This familiar tale will never be the same old story again.

Radically reimagines not just the story of the eponymous pigs, but the book form itself." * Telegraph * "Witty dialogue and physical comedy abound in this inspired retelling of a familiar favorite." * School Library Journal * "With surreal, complex, layered and beautifully executed pictures this version has much to intrigue mystify and discuss." * The School Librarian * "Very adventurous and a good read." * EYE *More details
