The Greedy Wolf cover

There was once a greedy wolf. He was so greedy that every day he would eat enough food for TEN birthday parties and still be hungry for more...

- A laugh-out-loud picture book version of the classic Grimms fairy tale "The Wolf and the Seven Young Goats", with a brilliant twist at the end!

- Perfect for fans of fractured fairy tale stories and great for story time, with repeating phrases and exciting page-turns inviting children to join in with the action.

- LOTS of comic food chaos featuring children's favourite mealtime foods. (PIZZA! BURGERS! Egg-and-bacon-double-fudge-broccoli-and-cabbage flavoured ICE CREAM!)

- Celebrates teamwork, quick thinking and outwitting the classic storybook villain - helping kids feel empowered.

A hungry and very naughty wolf is on the prowl for dinner when he spots –DUN DUN DUN – seven young goats … left at home alone.

But, fear not, whilst these kid goats may be little, they are VERY clever, innovative and have enough downright silly tricks in hand to avoid getting eaten and maybe even … get a little (or rather big) snack themselves.

Storytelling master Timothy Knapman and graphic genius Jean Jullien have come together to create a wickledly delicious new fairy tale.

Timothy Knapman’s funny updated telling of the Grimm Brothers, The Wolf and the Seven Little Kids with Jean Jullien’s illustrations of the mock-scary wolf are sure to make young audiences laugh. * Red Reading Hub *
