Once again the Big Bad Wolf has come a-knocking on the door to the house of straw. Rather than face the demise of his home and the certainty of being eaten, the first little pig steps out of the story. After seeing the safety offered outside the story the pig convinces his two brothers to join him. Now they are stepping in and out of different tales, meeting other characters such as the cat with a fiddle, a run away spoon, and even a friendly fire breathing dragon. Despite their new friends and adventures the pigs know it is time to return to their own tale. Yet they won't return alone, after all, no wolf is so very big and bad next to their new friend the dragon!
In a book that doesn't follow the well-known plot you can't expect it to follow one type of illustration. Each time David Wiesner changes the tale he changes his artistic style as well. This book contains everything from pencil drawn pictures to computer generated images. This picture book has them all!
