A humorous adaptation of a classic tale starts with a very hungry wolf knocking on the door of a family of goats. The mother has left her ten baby goats alone in the house, and the wolf is impatient to get inside to eat them up. When the goats let him in, he is surprised at the amount of food the goats have cooked up. “Try my pizza! Try my pasta! Try my cake!” When the wolf goes to eat a goat, he’s stuffed with the baked goods from the goats instead. He’s eventually too full to eat the goats, and then it is revealed that it is the goats who want to eat HIM! Kids will undoubtably enjoy this book despite the far-fetched plot. Recommended for ages 3-7.
