Product Information

Farmer McFleecie! There’s a Wolf in the yard!’ she barked. ‘Best see him off before he makes a meal of your sheep!’ But there’s laughter coming from the farm house!’ whispered the Fox. ‘Why don't you hide the bowl under your tail while I watch for the lights going out.’ Without giving the plot away (no spoilers here), this tale will charm, entertain, mesmerize and gently enlighten any child - providing a glimpse into “another”, who may look alien or unfriendly from the outside - but may, perhaps just be different. (Even really different, or scary). Everyone was scared of the Wolf. Folk like Farmer McFleecie and his wife were scared. Even the animals were scared - except for one. Have you ever questioned what really happened in the story of Little Red Riding Hood? The Wolf’s Story by Toby Forward and Izhar Cohen is a story of Little Red Riding Hood from the perspective of the Wolf. In this story, the Wolf is able to share his side of the story explaining all of the events that happened, but in a way that depicts himself as a good, helpful wolf. This entertaining perspective offers a fun perspective on a traditional story.

An absolutely delightful picture-book re-telling of the fairy tale, “Little Red Riding Hood”, from the perspective of the infamous Wolf, the much-maligned anti-hero who it may turn out, is not such a bad guy, after all. Other books I could connect with this one would be the original Little Red Riding Hood. Another book would be The most Magnificent thing by Ashley Spires. This book also focuses on perspective.

Looking for something different

n a deep glen in Scotland there lived a scary, wild beastie: a Wolf with shaggy grey hair, sharp fangs and the loudest howl you ever did hear.

For after all, he is a wolf, trying to get by in a human world, and from that perspective, our entire story now pivots.) The next night was even colder when the two animals returned to the McFleecies' farm. The Wolf hoped to find some more of the crowdie cheese, but the window-ledge was empty and the bowl lay just where it had fallen. How the Wolf howled as he tried to free his tail. He pulled and pulled and then - Snap! - he pulled so hard that he pulled it right off! This fractured fairy tale is funny, charming, gorgeously illustrated, and is sure to captivate even the youngest reader.

Give AI a Try!

The Fox suddenly twitched her nose. ‘Mmm, lovely!’ she sniffed in delight. 'There's some crowdie under the bowl. Can't you smell it?' This is a fun story looking at perspective and how looking through different perspectives can give the reader or viewer completely different story and set of events. I think that the Wolf did a pretty good job at convincing the readers that he was not the bad guy of the story while still holding the suspense with the like “Would I lie to you?” The Wolf's Story: What Really Happened to Little Red Riding Hood' is an amusing retelling of the classic tale. But this time, it's told through the Wolf's perspective. The Wolf is not the notorious grandma-eating predator; instead, he is a vegetarian that likes to help Grandma with errands and odd jobs. In fact, he feels a little neglected when her bratty granddaughter, Little Red Riding Hood, comes to visit. When he tries to protect Grandma, the situation turns awry and the Wolf leaves in old lady clothes and a fractured reputation! He's adamant to tell his side of the story - if you'll let him. In a deep glen in Scotland there lived a scary, wild beastie: a Wolf with shaggy grey hair, sharp fangs and the loudest howl you ever did hear.
