Wolf Won’t Bite! by Emily Gavett 

Three cheeky little circus pigs make a wild wolf jump through hoops (literally), endure feats of astounding derring-do, and even withstand perilous games of dress-up. Safe in the thought that “Wolf Won’t Bite!” they even put their heads between his jaws . . . but can you push a wolf too far?

The author is not alone in treating the reader like a moron Continue reading →
