This picture book, with its use of dark
colors and shadows, is not what it
seems. As a wolf is heard and seen in
the distant, animals begin to scurry
away. The faces of the characters
appear to be afraid as they hurry their
children along to a house in the woods.
The wolf himself is dressed in a tie
and suit coat, but his large head,
piercing eyes, and large teeth make him
look menacing. Children will enjoy the
rhyming text with words like “creaks”
and “peeks” as well as “fangs”
and “pangs” adding to the scary-fun of
the story. The ending is memorable and
readers will want to read it again in
order to see the previous parts of the
story in a new light.
