This article examines how aspects of David Wiesner's picturebook The Three Pigs challenge the idea of traditional stories being contained by physical and conceptual boundaries. Boundary breaking in The Three Pigs is shown by the pigs' ability to traverse boundaries with ease. They are free to 'be' intertextual as well as extra-textual.
