Media Reviews
Read me a story! is a familiar plea in households everywhere, and children, reassured that all will turn out happily in the end, love to anticipate the menacing growl of the Wicked Wolf and all the other special effects that enhance good storytelling. Laura Cecil's retellings of three classic tales--Little Red Riding Hood, The Wicked Wolf and the Seven Little Kids, and Mr. W. Wolf--are cleverly designed with distinctive type styles to help add realism and expression when they are read aloud, and to guide young children reading for themselves. Illustrated by Emma Chichester Clark in her signature eye-catching colors, this collection is a perfect bedtime or rainy-day treat.
