The Three Pigs: Caldecott Medal Award Winner

The Three Pigs, written by David Wiesner and illustrated by Carol Goldenberg
Publisher: Scholastic, Inc.
Pages: 52
Genre: Picture Book - Traditional Literature
Rating: Thumbs Up and Down

In this book, the author takes us through a different version of the classic tale concerning the three pigs. A funny twist occurs in the story as the pigs decide they do not like how the story has been told in the past and they are exiting the story. The pigs then decide to slide and fly out of their story pages and into other tale pages.

I rated this book at a "Thumbs Up and Down" because I liked the different twist the story presented, but my children had a very hard time understanding and following the story. It was a good idea, but not all readers will get what the author was trying to do.
