Summary
This 2002 Caldecott Medal award winner is an interesting take on the tradition big bad wolf and three little pig's story. In this version, the pigs escape the wolf by actually leaving the pages of the story. They make paper airplanes out of the pages of the book, venture into other stories, and make their way safely home.
Analysis
Mr. Wiesner is able to use texture to portray a 3D type image where the pigs actually leave their story. This realistic depiction of the pigs gives the illusion that the reader can touch the pigs. The setting is told through the amazing art work in the book. Most of the story is told through dialogue. Without the illustrations, the story would be difficult to follow.
