Authors : Larry Moss & Kelly Cheatle
Publisher: Limited Kickstarter Edition
Year Published: 2013
Description (from back cover): Squeal with delight at a classic tale! Artists Larry Moss & Kelly Cheatle breathe new life into the story of the Three Little Pigs with their unique balloon illustrations. Follow the pigs as they work together to learn the merits of a job well done.
Review:
First, I need to come clean. I am a recovering balloon artist. It isn't like I need to attend meetings or anything but there are days where I miss creating amazing things out of a piece of latex. Sound crazy? Yep. I've been called that before. No biggie. ANYWAY... almost two years ago, Larry Moss and Kelly Cheatle created the Once Upon a Time Kickstarter Project. I happily became one of their sponsors. Take a visit to their site to witness what motivated me at the time.
Great news! The project was fully funded and just this month, I received my two copies of their limited Kickstarter edition book, "And He Puffed." The artistry in the illustrations (do I call them that?) are mind-blowing. My favorite detail is the varied expressions of the pigs throughout the story. The mix of balloons and computer graphic backgrounds make a perfect combination.
We all know the story, so there are no major surprises there. However, this story leaves out the chimney descent and rids the pigs of the wolf in a more fitting manner. The text works very well with narration and rhyming dialogue from the characters.
Actually, my daughter picked these pages out right away as her favorites. I was surprised at first, but then noting the details in this page, I understood. The little houses are teeny tiny balloons inflated with just enough air to pump them up a tad. Beautiful work.
A few of my daughter's friends were over this week and all were drawn to the book just by seeing the cover.
This fun and beautiful picture book easily gets 5 stars out of 5 balloontastic stars from me and I am thrilled to have a copy to give away to one lucky reader. (See below)
Read? Yes.
Ages? All ages.
Where to Purchase the Book: This is the unfortunate part. You cannot purchase this book as of right now. The authors are in talks with publishers and until a deal is worked out, the only copies of this book are the 100 limited edition Kickstarter copies that were made. This is where we hope a publisher will jump on the opportunity and offer them big bucks for their amazing undertaking.

Very cute little children's story that tells the Three Little Pigs story with balloon sculptures.
Fun, I bet kids would love it.
Glad my wife was part of the Kickstarter that made it happen.
