Description for The Three Pigs
Paperback. When the wolf comes a-knocking and a-puffing, he blows the pigs 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. Num Pages: 40 pages, chiefly col. Illustrations. BIC Classification: YBCS. Category: (JN) Preschool (0-5). Dimension: 229 x 281 x 4. Weight in Grams: 242.
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.
