Book Description
for The Three Little Pigs by Steven Guarnaccia
From The United States Board on Books for Young People (USBBY)
Illustration elements take Guarnaccia’s thoroughly modern retelling to an entirely new level—one in which three pigs live surrounded by, and in, masterpieces of design. They live together in a version of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater House, sit on Frank Gehry chairs, and even have a garden greenhouse shaped like I. M. Pei’s Louvre pyramid. These are three little piggies with an eye for design! The endpapers provide illustrations of all of the architectural and industrial designs featured throughout the book, accompanied by labels providing the names of the pieces, their designers, countries of origin, and date of design . lvb
