Now here’s a tale of the Big Bad Wolf and errr… the Small Bad Wolf, his son. Obviously, life isn't all hunky-dory for them. It sure is hard to be the bad one in a story. :-)
The Big Bad Wolf is under pressure from his son to take him on “nippy, zippy adventures like it is in the stories.” Mother Wolf wants “something decent for Sunday lunch.”
The poor wolf sets out with his old brown sack and his son to find adventure and food.
Things don’t go as planned. They get hit on the head with a frying pan, chased out and finally, the Big Bad Wolf is knocked out by little kids, no less.
This funny story from the I am Reading series, features neat illustrations and text that is neatly aggregated into five chapters to motivate young readers.
Excerpt
The Small Bad Wolf thought it looked great fun.
It was the nippiest, zippiest game he’d ever seen.
All that pouncing and chasing made him feel bubbly inside. He wasn't so happy when he’d got his disguise on, though.
