Synopsis

Once upon a time there lived a family of sheep. They grazed on grass, crunched on clover, and played on green pastures. Except for Little Sheep, that is, who was bored with her peaceful life. So she makes an unusual decision...Little Sheep is having a great time at wolf school in her new knitted wolf suit and has even made friends with Little Wolf! But things all become rather more complicated when Little Wolf invites her home for dinner...

A wonderfully funny pun-filled twist on a classic tale by expert storyteller Bob Hartman, and illustrated by Tim Raglin, whose humorous pictures complement the story perfectly.

About this title

Review:

Peppered with puns, this is a rather different story about Little Sheep who was bored with her peaceful life. She decides it would be more exciting to be a wolf... so off she goes to Wolf School, dressed in her new knitted wolf suit. Things seem to be going well until she faces a dilemma over the food - especially when Little Wolf invites her over for dinner. She gets a shock when she sees what the Wolf family are having for dinner... perhaps it's time to stop being a wolf. Delightfully and humorously illustrated this is an unusual story which keeps the reader guessing right to the end - and there's a twist at the end to enjoy. --www.parentsintouch.co.uk
