NEW Paperback Picture book : Beware of the Storybook Wolves by Lauren Child
Nestle Smarties Book Prize 2000 - Bronze (6-8yrs category)
Herb loves his Little Red Riding Hood picture book, with its lupine villain and its back-cover ad for "The Little Fierce Wolf and the Three Pink Piglets." He also prefers to keep the book at a distance, "Because there's a wolf in it, of course." One night, after his mother mistakenly leaves it on his bedside table, Herb smells wolf breath and hears "a deep rumbling sound... like the rumbling of a very hungry tummy." He flicks on the lamp and sees his two storybook wolves licking their chops. Herb grabs a fairy-tale treasury, flips to a picture of a fairy godmother "and shook it until she tumbled out of the book and onto the floor." With the godmother's help, the wolves are banished.

Despite the tense situations, Lauren Child keeps the mood light with brightly patterned cut paper and collage elements like sequins and feathers. Her mock-threatening wolves have ridiculous pointy noses, prickly fur and incongruous coats and ties. Ages 4-8.
