Summary:
Weisner combines an interesting twist on a classic story using fun images and text to make it appealing to readers. in the text,the author sends the pigs on the adventure of their lives like nothing we've ever seen before. Readers are taken on a whirlwind ride using a different range of media to portray the three pigs adventure to escape the wolf.
Visual Element:
Composition
The composition unifies all the
elements in the illustrations found in The Three Pigs. The overall story is
transformed from a fictional text to a realistic world. The author has allowed
colors and lines to show the pigs and how they change from traditional, to
cartoonish, to three-dimensional, graphics that appear to come alive depending
on the setting of the page.
The plot is one of the most
irrational and exciting that I have seen in a picture book. The pigs fly on a
paper airplane across pages and settings that move the action forward in the
story. They crash land into different fairy tales and nursery rhymes making
this story quite the adventure. The overall plot of the pigs trying to escape
the big, bad wolf is a story told across generations. This book puts a nice and
unique spin on the traditional telling.
