Garth Pig and the Ice Cream Lady
Garth Pig returns for another close encounter with the wolf. This time he is sent by his brothers and sisters to buy everyone an ice cream. When he takes a long time to return they become suspicious and discover that he has been carried away in the ice cream van by the driver, who turns out to be a wolf. Good triumphs over evil and the wolf is overthrown, the ice creams eaten after all and everyone arrives home safely. This is a lovely romp with plenty of pace and adventure and definitely to be recommended, building a repertoire of textural cross references.
