Together they spy an owl overhead, look deep into the frozen face of the lake, and contemplate the fish sleeping below the surface. Then it's time to say goodbye: for Bear to go home and hibernate with the family and for Wolf to run with the pack. Daniel Salmieri's debut as author/illustrator is a beautifully rendered story of friendship and the subtle rhythm of life when we are open to the world and to each other.

Mama Goat has seven little kids who are pretty smart for their age. Before Mama goes into the forest for some food, she warns the kids to stay inside and not let anyone in. Especially the Wolf! But soon after she leaves, the hairy menace shows up and tries to fool the suspicious siblings into believing he is their mother. Will the kids see through his clever disguises, or will they end up as breakfast, lunch, and dinner? This fractured retelling of The Wolf and Seven Young Kids, a lesser-known tale from the Brothers Grimm, will make readers giggle, groan, and gasp with delight. Especially when they learn how a needle and thread come to the kids' rescue!

When a mother has to leave her seven kids at home while she gathers food, she warns them not to open the door unless they know it is her. A devious wolf outwits the kids by mimicking their mother and they open the door to a nasty surprise. However, a wolf with a belly full of kids in no match for an angry mum.

An all time famous classic story book for kids. Beautiful illustrations and easy to read text is ideal for young early learners.
