About This Book
This engaging picture book brings the classic schoolyard game 'What's the Time, Mr. Wolf?' to life with charming farm animals and a sly Mr. Wolf. Children will love the repetitive call-and-response as the animals inch closer to the wolf, building suspense until he finally calls 'Dinner time!' The book cleverly incorporates a peep-hole feature, adding an interactive element that enhances the playful tension. Beyond pure entertainment, this story helps reinforce concepts of time and counting, while also subtly developing executive function skills like attention and quick reactions, much like the game itself. It's a delightful read-aloud for ages 4-8, perfect for sparking conversations about games, strategy, and friendly competition.
In this story based on a school-yard game, the farmyard animals ask Mr. Wolf what time it is, while he tries to lure them to come that evening to a very special meal. At various points, a peep-hole allows a glimpse of the next illustration.
