Beloved picture book creator David Wiesner is the recipient of three prestigious Caldecott Medals, for Tuesday in 1992, The Three Pigs in 2002, and Flotsam in 2007, making him only the second person in the award’s long history to have won three times. He has also received two Caldecott Honors, for Free Fall and Sector 7. His new book is a near-wordless masterpiece about a cat named Mr. Wuffles who thinks a little spaceship full of tiny aliens that crash-landed on earth is a toy. When the space visitors take shelter behind the radiator to repair their damaged ship and recover from motion sickness, they make a bevy of helpful insect friends.
