The Wolf Who Cried Boy

Writing is excellent and witty - one simply can't resist falling in love with a book that includes menu items such as "lamburgers" and "Granny Smith pie" - and the illustrations support it well. Better done than the run of the mill fairy tale parody, and thus far superior to the average fairy tale presentation.The humor is invaluable when trying to stuff a moral down kids' throats - they respond relatively well to being reminded that they are crying "Boy!" (especially when presented comically) - and it also helps them relax and back away from the precipitating issue.AND - it's a lot of fun to read aloud, especially if one hams up the voices. Highly recommended for (parents of) bright, lively kids, ages 3 and up.

Paperback form of this fun story is of good quality and promises to hold up well with much use.

This book is hysterical! Like kept me giggling long after my kids went to sleep when one of the lines would cross my mind. Great read and fresh take on the boy who cried wolf. Kids loved it too!

So clever and witty! Love this for the quirky story and the darling illustrations! Buy it, you won’t be disappointed (if you have a funny bone)!!!

Our 4 year old started lying so his teacher recommended the boy who cried wolf but our Library didn't have it. Luckily they had this instead, we love reading this story together!

Fun book with a great spin on the original story.

I came across this in my search for "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" (which is apparently quite difficult to find - if you can suggest one please comment!). I am very pleased that this retelling doesn't lose the message of the original story, the illustrations are cute, and it's funny.

This is a great story for children and adults alike. The children need to be old enough to understand the story of the boy who cried wolf to really appreciate how much fun this one is. We all enjoyed it so much. Product came in timely manner and in great condition.

This book is great! We originally bought one of his other books Dinner in the Lions Den, which is fantastic, and a really fun take on Daniel in the Lions Den. My children love it so much I wanted to get some of his other books, so we saw this one with the same illustrator and it looked very promising! We were not disappointed. This will be yet another book that will forever remain on our shelf, whilst others will have been purged and ended up at a charity shop - this one is worth keeping even for the Grandkids!!! Brilliant.

Very good book for children . My granddaughter loves reading this before going to bed x

The story is the same as the boy who cried wolf, but is told in a bizarre fashion. It's fun, but it does have some bizarre references to eating other animals, small boys and grandmas - heads up!

Great lesson. Great story very pleased

Clever twist of the familiar story. Very effective.
