Here is a lively retelling of three classic fairy tales, Little Red Riding Hood, The Three Little Pigs, and The Boy Who Cried Wolf, expressed in an utterly contemporary way -- in fresh, fast, and funny rap. Laugh as our hapless wolf tries desperately to find something to eat. First he meets up with a Red Riding Hood with attitude, then three pigs with guts, finally a boy who's in over his head. David Vozar's text explodes in the vernacular of the '90s, and Betsy Lewin's hilarious illustrations are the perfect accompaniment.

When a hungry young wolf spots a tasty-looking animal in the field above the river, he thinks he has found some dinner . . . but the fluffy little lamb is more clever than he has bargained for. Will the lamb become a tasty snack, or will she escape the wolf's hungry jaws?

Being a wolf is an extremely tough job. It demands the same hard training as a top athlete, and every attack must be carefully planned in advance. If not, there's a serious risk of ending up with an injury. In these pages, we'd love you to enjoy a few tales where the wolf is the main character on some plots where things don't turn out exactly as he plans . . . as sometimes he is too hungry to think carefully what needs to be done.

Augmented reality brings the story to life with images that jump right off the page.
