I am the Wolf . . . and Here I Come!

Watch the wolf put on his trousers, his T-shirt, his socks, and more. But what is his plan once he's fully dressed? Careful-he might bite! This boardbook has extra-thick board pages and strong cloth binding that will withstand many reads (it will need to!). It's a French bestseller, with bold illustrations and simple text, great for reading aloud, with a fun ending guaranteed to get giggles. It's also good for discussing getting dressed and different items of clothing.

“"Watch out! The big, bad wolf is coming to get you. But first, he has to introduce himself. Drawn in thick black lines against a white background, he announces, with hands on hips, 'Hello, I am the big bad wolf.' On subsequent pages, readers watch as he dons his big-bad-wolf outfit, one garment per page spread: first his underpants (covered in pink hearts), then a white T-shirt, orange socks, blue pants, a red pullover, boots, a feathered hat, and finally, a long black coat. Kids will readily relate to this time-consuming process of getting dressed (though they may be initially thrown by a couple of unusual vocabulary choices: 'trousers' and 'top'). As he pulls on all these various items, the wolf looks downright silly, with large, round yellow eyes and a goofy grin. On the final pages, he turns more menacing with arms raised, eyebrows slanted and pink tongue protruding. Following the advice on the back cover--quickly 'snap[ping] the book shut to keep the wolf inside'--will help wee ones feel safe as they enjoy the thrill of a little scare. Originally published in France, this vibrantly colored, vertically bound offering featuring a silly and slightly scary wolf will keep kids coming back for more."--Kirkus Reviews”

"These ten simple spreads have a real snap finish that makes me laugh every time."--Julia Marshall
