Upper left - The Red Wolf written and illustrated by Margaret Shannon. From front book flap, "Roselupin has had quite enough of being locked away in her tower room. Her father the king thinks he needs to protect her from the wild and dangerous world outside, but Roselupin knows better. So when she receives a mysterious gift on her seventh birthday, Roselupin uses it as her ticket out of the tower and into the woods, where she howls and dances all day long - and surprises the kingdom folk right out of their scoks. Twice."
Upper right - Wolf! by Becky Bloom and illustrated by Pascal Biet. From front book flap, "Once upon a time, a howling wolf leaped at a pig, a duck, and a cow - and got no reaction. No running away, no frightened oinks or quacks or moos. "What's wrong with you?" growled the wolf, "Can't you see I'm a big and dangerous wolf?" "I'm sure you are," replied the pig. "But couldn't you be big and dangerous somewhere else? We're trying to read. This is a farm for educated animals..." Educated animals? That gets the wolf thinking. Maybe he, too, could learn to read. And as this witty and winning tale reveals, an exciting new chapter in the wolf's life begins."
Lower left - Beware of the Storybook Wolves by Lauren Child. The little boy in this book is so scared of all of the storybook wolves his mother reads to him - he asks his mom to take the books with her when she leaves his bedroom! This is a great book for students to make text-to-text connections (Hansel and Gretel, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood)!
Lower right - Peter and the Wolf by Serfei Prokofiev Translated by Maria Carlson and illustrated by Charles Mikolaycak. This is a retelling of the fairy tale of the boy who ignores the warning of his grandfather proceeds to capture a wolf!
