Splosh!

A hungry wolf, having fallen down a well in pursuit of the cheesy lunar reflection, dupes pig into making the same mistake to effect his escape. Pig, with stories of a carrot well, tricks a rabbit family to extricate himself and then along comes wolf ... The book's elongated pages are read vertically and become the shaft of the well up and down which the rope, bucket and gullible animals yoyo in this tale of foolishness and trickery. The text, translated from the original French, is a 'voices off' commentary to the predictable and inevitable events that gives the reader a satisfying feeling of being in the know. The illustrations need no translation with the expressions of the scrawny wolf and the other protagonists adding to the slapstick.
