More wonderfully funny stories about a clever little girl called Polly and the stupid wolf who wants to eat her! Originally published as Last Stories of Polly and the Wolf, the wolf is back again and determined to eat Polly. He sets up all kinds of traps to try and get her into his clutches, but Polly is just too clever for him - until one day when things take a very unexpected turn - perhaps the stupid wolf is not quite so stupid after all...!
