Wolf Won't Bite!
by Emily Gravett
Roll up, roll up! The Three Little Pigs capture the Wolf and have fun making him do circus tricks, each time claiming that 'Wolf Won't Bite'! But will the wolf have the last laugh?
This clever, fun inversion of the classic fairytale will be popular with children as they shout the refrain 'Wolf Won't Bite'.
Emily Gravett's lovely illustrations perfectly capture the subdued and cowed wolf with the smug, victorious pigs delighting in humiliating him. Wonderful.
