Synopsis

Wilhelmina Harper's The Gunniwolf is a classic-beloved by readers, storytellers, and teachers. Unavailable for years, it is back with fabulous new illustrations by Barbara Upton, perfect for our time. Its vibrant, rhythmic read-aloud text-sprinkled with dialect-tells the story of Little Girl, who is forbidden to enter the jungle for fear of meeting the Gunniwolf. But when she does, this version's Gunniwolf seems almost playful-if just a little scary. But Little Girl learns her lesson, and a new generation of listeners will be rapt with delight at this "guten sweeten" book.
Illustrated by Barbara Upton.

About this title

Review

"This retelling of a folk tale about the Little Girl who learned the hard way about staying out of the jungle is very well cadenced for reading aloud . . . . The story offers just the right balance of lurking danger and mounting security."  —School Library Journal
