Description

What do you see when you imagine a wolf Sharp, pointy teeth Big, hungry eyes A soft sweater and a friendly smile Wait a minute! The wolf in this story would rather knit than huff, puff, or blow anyone's house down. But that doesn't stop the townsfolk from crying wolf anyway. What's a kind-hearted wolf to do when everyone keeps running and screaming at "Hello" It's time to show the world that this wolf is the furthest thing from Big and Bad. This beautifully illustrated fable engages readers directly, reminding them to challenge expectations.

Reviews

"While delivering a timely lesson about regarding everyone as an individual rather than making judgments based on preconceptions, this picture book also entertains with familiar nursery tale references, the wolf's aggrieved point of view, and questions that call for imaginative responses. A thought-provoking choice for reading aloud." -- Booklist

"Tugs at the heartstrings." -- School Library Journal
