  • Cute twist on an old classic!

    Guest G. - 5 years 9 months ago

    My 8 year old son absolutely loves this book! Whether he’s reading along with author on YouTube or trying to read it on his own he hasn’t gotten tired of it yet.

  • A humorous retelling of the classic tale.

    Brooke B. - 7 years 1 month ago

    There are two sides to every story. In this inventive parody based on the classic tale, the big, bad wolf himself gives readers his take on what really happened. This clever story is sure to please children and parents alike. Author Jon Scieszka and illustrator Lane Smith have created a memorable book that's sure to become a family favorite.
