The Wolf is Coming!

The text builds cleverly with repetition and pace in this picture book which has the feel of a traditional tale and the illustrations are stunning. As old wolf approaches, the animals move from hen coop to pigsty, to cowshed and so on until all are crowded into the donkey's rickety old shack --- the climax is satisfyingly dramatic and judging from the reaction of children in our school will be one of those books to be revisited again and again! (With some adaptation of the text, sizing of print and separation of print from illustration etc. this title would make a brilliant big book.)
