Once upon a time there lived a family of sheep. They grazed on grass, crunched on clover, and played on green pastures. Except for Little Sheep, that is, who was bored with her peaceful life. So she makes an unusual decision... Little Sheep is having a great time at wolf school in her new knitted wolf suit and has even made friends with Little Wolf! But things all become rather more complicated when Little Wolf invites her home for dinner... A wonderfully funny pun-filled twist on a classic tale by expert storyteller Bob Hartman, and illustrated by Tim Raglin, whose humorous pictures complement the story perfectly. K-Gr 3—Hartman reverses story of the wolf in sheep's clothing by having excitement-seeking Little Sheep dress up as a wolf. Her wealthy parents indulge her rebellious whim by knitting her a wolf suit, paying for howling lessons, and sending her to Wolf School. Soon, Little Sheep is invited to dinner at the home of her new friend Little Wolf, where she discovers that her parents are on the menu. Although there are amusing aspects to this fractured retelling and a focus on the positive power of friendship, Hartman's repeated references to the wolves' preference for human flesh are disturbing (For example, Little Wolf's mother always makes him a "big bowl of Stu," the farmer, for lunch). This cautionary tale is enough to turn anyone into a vegetarian.—Sally James, South Hillsborough Elementary School, Hillsborough, CA "Brilliant illustrations." —Bookloons Bob Hartman is a professional storyteller and award-winning children’s author of over seventy books.
