The Greedy Wolf

A ravenous wolf meets his match when he encounters some enterprising young goats in this new spin on a Grimms’ fairy tale.

Once there was a wicked wolf who was so greedy that every day he would eat enough food for TEN birthday parties and still be hungry for more. One day he was on the prowl for dinner when he spotted seven juicy little goats left at home . . . alone. Could these kid goats be clever enough—and have enough silly tricks at the ready—to avoid getting eaten, and maybe even enjoy a little (or big) snack themselves? A renowned storyteller and an acclaimed artist come together to create an entertaining read- and laugh-aloud version of the classic fairy tale “The Wolf and the Seven Young Goats.”Timothy Knapman is a children’s writer, lyricist, and playwright.
