“Clever, whimsical and sophisticated.” —New York Times Book Review
Taking visual narrative to a new level, this picture book from the creator of Tuesday and Flotsam begins a seemingly familiar tale of three pigs preparing to build houses of straw, sticks, and bricks. But when the Big Bad Wolf comes looking for a snack, he huffs and puffs the first little pig right out of the story . . . and into the realm of pure imagination! Dialogue balloons pepper a wide variety of illustration styles taking readers through a dazzling fantasy universe to the surprising and happy ending. You will never look at “The Three Little Pigs”—or artwork—the same way again!
“A funny, wildly imaginative tale that encourages readers to leap beyond the familiar; to think critically about conventional stories and illustration, and perhaps, to flex their imaginations and create wonderfully subversive versions of their own stories.” — ALA Booklist, Starred Review

It’s big sister to the rescue when a new baby is delivered to a family of robots and the adults are flummoxed by technical difficulties. Mr. Wuffles ignores all his cat toys but one, a spaceship piloted by small green aliens. When Mr. Wuffles plays rough with the little ship, the aliens must venture into the cat’s territory to make emergency repairs. The Caldecott-winning reinvention of “The Three Little Pigs” delights, amazes, and slyly explores the nature of storytelling itself in a bold and satisfying tale. A beach day is the springboard to a wildly imaginative exploration of fantastical mysteries of the deep—and of human connections through time.

The events of a delightfully unpredictable Tuesday invite readers to find the potential for the wondrousness in every day. Drawing on such diverse influences as Salvador Dali’s work, David Wiesner has crafted a story that goes straight to the essentials—friendship, creativity, and the mysterious point where these two forces intersect. David Wiesner works his visual magic in this near-wordless account of the most suspenseful, nerve-wracking few seconds in a baseball game.
