《三只小猪》的经典故事,完全颠覆故事的发展与可能。三只小猪一样是小猪三兄弟,一样盖自己的小房子,大灰狼还是来敲门。但是这次大灰狼不是从烟囱里掉进滚烫的汤里,而是把三只小猪吹出故事了。故事外是安全的吗?三只小猪怎么样躲过坏心的大野狼呢?这次大卫·威斯纳要让你知道:原来,故事也可以这样讲……
This picture book begins placidly and familiarly enough, with
three pigs collecting materials and going off to build houses of
straw, sticks, and bricks. But the wolf"s huffing and puffing blows
the first pig right out of the story . . . and into the realm of
pure imagination. The transition signals the start of a
freewheeling adventure with characteristic David Wiesner
effects—cinematic flow, astonishing shifts of perspective, and sly
humor, as well as episodes of flight. Satisfying both as a story
and as an exploration of the nature of story, The Three Pigs takes
visual narrative to a new level. Dialogue balloons, text excerpts,
and a wide variety of illustration styles guide the reader through
a dazzling fantasy universe to the surprising and happy ending.
Fans of Tuesday"s frogs and Sector 7"s clouds will be captivated by
old friends—the Three Pigs of nursery fame and their companions—in
a new guise.
