This irresistible book is about: a father; his five-year-old son, Michael (intelligent, crafty, addicted to stories); Michaels best friend Stefan (stalwart listener, equally addicted to stories); and, wellwhat else a story.Oh, and a wolf. It is as Michael always demands: a Wolf Story, which begins one night at bedtime and spins wildly on through subsequent bedtimes and Sunday outings to the beach and park in a succession of ever more trickily tantalizing episodes. Waldo the wolf is sneaking up on Rainbow the hen, when Jimmy Tractorwheel, the son of the local farmer, comes along. After that, theres no knowing what will happen next, as while stalled in traffic jams or nodding off at night, the boys chime in and the story races on and Waldo finds, if not necessarily dinner, his just desserts.First published in 1947 and wonderfully illustrated by Warren Chappell, William McCleerysWolf Storyis a delicious treat for fathers and sons and daughters and mothers alike.
