Beware of Boys: a Winner
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
It all starts when one small boy takes a shortcut through the woods(not usually a smart thing to do). He is, of course, captured by a mean and hungry wolf who takes the boy back to his cave. The boy soon convinces the wolf that it would be far better to cook the boy in some elaborate recipe than to eat him raw. Children can soon see where this story is heading and figure that the boy will somehow outsmart the wolf. When I picked this book for storytime at my elementary school I thought it might be a little long for short attention spans. However, from the reading of the title to the very end the children were really interested. The colorful pictures helped. I also liked the way the author wrote out the recipes for "Boy Soup," "Boy Pie" and "Boy Cake." It adds an extra touch of humor and uniqueness to the story. I recommend it highly.
