Who was the winner of the 2002 Caldecott Medal and what book did they win it for?

The winner of the 2002 Caldecott Medal was David Wiesner for "Three Little Pigs." Wiesner's innovative retelling of the classic fairy tale is celebrated for its creativity and artistic style, particularly its imaginative use of illustrations to expand on the story. The book reimagines the familiar tale by interweaving original narrative elements with well-known storylines, breaking the fourth wall and incorporating visual storytelling techniques that enhance the reading experience. This unique approach, along with Wiesner's exceptional artwork, contributed to the book's recognition with the Caldecott Medal, which honors the year's most distinguished American picture book for children.

The other options, while notable works, did not win the Caldecott Medal in 2002. "The Very Hungry Caterpillar," "Corduroy," and "The Polar Express" are all beloved children's books but are not associated with that specific award year.
