About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when looking for a story that playfully defies expectations and uses humor to explore decision-making. In this cleverly designed book, a hungry wolf encounters a series of potential meals, including a little boy, but rejects each for a silly reason. The suspense builds with each page turn, leading to a delightful twist that reveals the wolf's true intentions. It's a fantastic way to introduce literary concepts like irony and subverting tropes in a simple, accessible format for young children. Its minimalist art and deadpan humor make it a unique and memorable read-aloud.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book introduces the idea of a wolf eating other characters, including a child. This is handled metaphorically and with humor. The threat is never realized, and the resolution is completely non-violent. It is a secular story that playfully subverts a classic fairy tale villain.
