Let's Play in the Forest While the Wolf is Not Around

This picture book is a charming adaptation of the traditional French and Latin American folk song, 'Let's Play in the Forest While the Wolf is Not Around.' Young readers will delight in the repetitive, call-and-response structure as a group of forest animals play a game, daring each other to continue while a wolf slowly dresses and gets hungrier. The book masterfully builds mild suspense, making the wolf's eventual appearance more exciting than truly frightening, culminating in a playful chase. It's an excellent choice for children aged 4-8, perfect for read-alouds, encouraging participation, and gently exploring themes of bravery and group play.
