You'd better not tickle the pig... because it just might oink if you do! Babies and toddlers won't be able to resist pressing the soft touchy-feely patches to hear the different farm animals in this delightful novelty book. After the pig, cow, sheep and horse have been tickled, they all join in at the end, making their noises along with a hilarious rendition of the Old Macdonald Had a Farm tune.

t's Farmer Brown's birthday, and the animals are deciding what they'll do for him on his special day.
""Cluck! I will give him eggs," said the hen. / Said the rooster, "I'll wake him in the mornings, then." / "Baa-aa, we'll give him wool," said the sheep. / "For our fleece is soft and warm and deep."

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.
