Daedalus favorite David Wiesner takes the art of the picture book to a whole new level, creating visual, often wordless stories that are as intriguing and entertaining for adults as they are for kids. He is only the second person to win three Caldecott Medals—for Tuesday, The Three Pigs, and Flotsam. All three are collected here, along with Art & Max, celebrating the joy of painting, and the Caldecott Honor Book Mr. Wuffles! in which a playful cat encounters an out-of-this-world toy. In Wiesner's world, frogs take flight on lily pads, fairy tale characters wander through each other's stories, a mysterious camera reveals an undersea realm, and tiny aliens enlist the help of ants to escape a fearsome fate.
