This story is based on the fairy tale of, The Three Little Pigs, with surprising and entertaining differences. The wolf is hunting each pig in turn when the huffing and puffing blows the first pig out of his book page. Once freed from their scripted pages the pigs go on an adventure in the in between pages and visit other stories. Along the way they rescue a dragon and a cat. Finally, they decide to go home to the lovely brick home the third pig built. They re-enter their story in time to change the ending. The pigs, the cat, and the dragon make themselves at home. The author engages us by revealing a behind the scenes world . The illustrations carry us along as pigs flypaper airplanes and phase into alternative illustrative styles. This book would be excellent to demonstrate alternative story endings and re-imagining traditional stories.
