Wiesner, David. (2001). The Three Pigs. New York: Clarion.
The three pigs begin by telling their story the classic way. They were at their houses made of straws, sticks, and bricks, while the wolf was trying to blow them down. All of sudden, they tear out the page of their story and make it into an airplane. They use the airplane to travel to different fairytales and land there. They land in a fairytale with a dragon in it. They take the dragon home to live in the brick house with them. The dragon protects them from the wolf and they live happily ever after. The author uses texture in the story to enhance and stimulate the imagination of the reader. He starts off by using a 2D classic illustration to media illustration, which is 3D, as the setting changes through-out the story. You can read the original version of the story to your students. Students can compare and contrast it to The Three Pigs in a Venn Diagram. Students can then make text to text connections.
