Silly Mr. Wolf

Mr. Wolf once got by disguising himself as a sheep and posing as a friend to the flock. That trick no longer works, since the woolly costume now pinches and barely fits him, so he has to come up with fresh schemes to fill his belly. The sheep keep outwitting him, always a little ahead of his plans, until he oversteps and the joke turns on him. This is a stranger danger tale told with an old-fashioned comic flair, and its punchline is sure to get young readers giggling. It is a picture book by Tony Ross, a writer and illustrator known for his playful picture books.
