Review
"A hungry wolf just can't catch a break in these five loosely connected folktales....Readers drawn by the unusually large trim size and Alley's animated, loosely posed figures will linger over the snappy dialogue and almost feel sorry for the feckless predator..." Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Review
"Illustrated with softly colored pen-and-ink drawings, these five stories meld seamlessly together....The oversize format and the graphic-novel style make this retelling perfect for independent reading as well as for group sharing." School Library Journal
Review
"Comic-style panels laced with narrative boxes and word balloons lay out all the action for readers in big, clearly defined spreads, and text and pictures successfully mesh together into a highly enjoyable whole." Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
