WICKED WOLF TALES by Laura Cecil
This is a beautifully illustrated collection of stories with a wolf theme. The collection includes: - Little Red Riding Hood, the well-known tale of the little girl visiting her grandmother in the woods. When she arrives at Granny's cottage, Red Riding Hood finds that her grandmother looks just a little bit different - "What big ears you've got today, Granny!" - The Wicked Wolf and the Seven Little Kids, the story of how Wicked Wolf tricks his way into the house of the seven little kids while their mother is away at the market. The smallest goat, Bertie, has a special hiding place, however, and he and his mother find an ingenious way of saving the other little kids - Mr W Wolf is the little-known tale of Daisy, who learns the hard way about not being greedy. She visits Mr W Wolf to borrow his frying pan so her mother can make her some sticky doughnuts, but finds that it's not so easy to fool Mr W Wolf...The stories are vibrantly illustrated, breathing new life into these classic children's tales.
