Um, hm. I see lots of reviews here, but it seems most of them are from students of education, planning to be teachers. I wonder if this has actually been run by little children? The images of the wolf, through the entire first portion of the book, are very scary. And after the end, when the wolf is revealed to be Little Wolfie, who is fun to play with, there is an epilogue, in which Little Wolfie says next time I'll bring my big brother" and the scary wolf's profile is shown again. To me, that seems like 'Jaws 2 - just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...'

If you're going to share this with children under the age of six or seven, preview it first. And I do think it would help if your child knows at least some of the included fairy tale and nursery rhyme characters that were included.

My rating reflects my mixed feelings. If I could test it on kids I might change my mind." ( )

Little Bear’s sitting at home reading when one fairy tale character after another comes running over to escape a terrible wolf. Finally a wolf comes to the door- a little tiny one who wants to play. They all play, and Wolfie says, “Tomorrow I’ll bring my big brother!” ( )
