What's the Time, Grandma Wolf?

By Ken Brown

Book Overview

There's a wolf in the woods and everyone says: "She's big and she's bad, she's old and she's hairy. Best leave her alone, she's mean and she's SCARY "

When the little animals hear that a big, bad wolf lives in their forest, they decide to get a closer look. Squirrel, Crow, Badger, and their friends sneak up on Grandma Wolf's house, where they find her fast asleep.

Brave Piglet shouts, "What's the time, Grandma Wolf?" and the fun begins. All the animals take a turn asking the question, creeping closer and closer. As the excitement mounts, children will delight in discovering the surprise Grandma Wolf has in store for the curious animals.

Customer Reviews

Wonderful story book!

I've read this to many classes of children now. It's very popular. You can really build up excitement because the pictures are so good. The ending is completely unexpected.

What a fun book!

This is the unexpected story of Grandma Wolf, reminiscent of Little Red Riding Hood's hapless grandma but with a twist. The very simple story delights youngsters with a slow, repetitive, beautifully illustrated tale of the forest creatures coming ever closer to Grandma Wolf. You can imagine the squeals of warning as the small children hearing the story want to save the innocent little creatures and warn them to stay away from Grandma Wolf. The ending is a positive delight! I've given this book to my own grandchildren.

What a fun book!

This is a great story for sharing. Children can identify the various animals as they creep closer and closer to Grandma Wolf, and they love asking "What's the time, Grandma Wolf?" The story is slightly scary and suspenseful but has a fun surprise ending.
