Beware of the Storybook Wolves


Author: Lauren Child
Illustrator: Lauren Child

Herb's fears break into this book despite his mother knowing that storybook wolves are not dangerous. Explores the power of books. Interesting typography.

Intertextual references to Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella and The Three Little Pigs.



Story sack ideas: Wolf toy, Little Red Riding Hood book, typography exercise/game, design a better outfit for Little Wolf, pattern making exercise, cards of other things that could escape from books.

Book based game: reveal game or word bingo based on the little wolf standing in a ballgown, character building game or a track game to Herb's bed.
