Synopsis
The Three Pigs is a book by David Wiesner. Released by Clarion/Houghton Mifflin, it was the recipient of the Caldecott Medal for illustration in 2002, Wiesner's second of three honors. The plot begins to follow the traditional story of the Three Little Pigs, but soon the three pigs are blown from the pages of the storybook. Wiesner said, on the backflap of the book, that this book was inspired by the pigs at the end of his previous Caldecott book, Tuesday.
