TEXTURE
Wiesner’s story starts off traditionally but when the 1st pig is literally “huffed” and “puffed” off the pages of his vanilla world, the reader knows they are in for a special treat. Fractured fairy tales, in the hands of an inept storyteller, can be shattered beyond any hint of recognition. Weisner’s juxtaposition of traditional storybook drawings and colors along with his stunningly multi-dimensional illustrations save his book from this fate. The effect also brings dimension to an otherwise flat world.
