The Wolves in the Walls

Author: Neil Gaiman

Illustrator: Dave McKean

Interesting for PSHCE. How do the wolves feel? Also would be great for persuasive writing - write a note persuading the family that there are wolves in the walls.

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.

The Tunnel

Author: Anthony Browne

Illustrator: Anthony Browne

Complex and question provoking. A brother and sister find they really do care for each other.

The True Story of The 3 Little Pigs

Author: Jon Scieszka

Illustrator: Lane Smith

Witty and menacing yet disconcertingly plausible. Brings into question the motivation of the press.

Story sack ideas: toys of pictures for the wolf and the pigs, a non-fiction book about pigs or wolves, a newspaper.
