Synopsis

Mister Wolf is hungry...for plump pig – like Preston!

Mister Wolf is condsidering getting a job so he can buy his dinner instead of having to go out and catch it! But what could he be... a footballer, a teacher, an astronaut? It’s a difficult decision when all he’s good at is eating pigs!

Hmm... it’s certainly food for thought!

Synopsis:

Mr Wolf is hungry as usual and Preston the Pig has some career suggestions for his enemy so that he will be able to buy food rather than catch it! Preston, whilst keeping at a safe distance from Mister Wolf, suggests that he could become a footballer, or a poet or a crane driver or even an astronaut. But no matter what job Mister Wolf imagines himself doing it somehow always manages to involve eating Preston! When Preston is called away to his dinner the wolf is also given a dinner of sorts, when Preston's dad drops a solid iron pot of slops on unlucky wolf's head. AGE 4-7
