- Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2015This is a bit dark, but funny. I love stories where both my 2 year old and I can laugh. Also, this is the first book I ever read to him when he was five days old! We are still reading it and enjoying it 2 years later.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2015I loved this book. The ending is a real surprise and makes for a good laugh for both parents and children. Just like kids will be kids, this little treasure shows that wolves will be wolves.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2019Love this book - except for the last page. My son loves it but the end is sad.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2016I love love love this story. It is just scary enough to make the kids laugh and the grownups chuckle.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2014Checked this book out at the library and my daughter loved it so we got a copy for ourselves. Great story, surprise ending :-)
- Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2018What a huge disappointment. This book glorifies bad behavior. Don't we have enough of that in our world? I would give it no stars, but the website wouldn't let me go on.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2016Nice book!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2012This is an adorable cover that doesn't really come through properly in the photo. The little gray wolf's body is covered in a very fine fur, making him look infinitely hugable. The first two words of the title are drawn to look as if they are made of yarn or rope, while the last is covered in black and white fur - just like a real wolf.
Rolf (the perfect name!) is a sweet little guy who lives with Mrs. Boggins. Rather than being mean and nasty like typical storybook wolves, Rolf enjoys baking tasty cakes and being nice to his friends. Mrs. Boggins has warned Rolf of the evil wolves, but he has never run into one. Until today. This wolf has glowing yellow eyes and a row of very sharp teeth that are on display even when his mouth is closed. His legs are spindly and his black tail comes to a verrrry sharp point.
Big Bad Wolf scoffs at Rolf, telling him "Real wolves howl at the moon. Real wolves blow houses in. Real wolves eat people up!" Desperately wanting validation, Rolf tries those things, but fails miserably. When it comes time to devour Mrs. Boggins, Rolf snaps and and trusses the Big Bad Wolf up like a chicken. He has never felt more wolf-like! He and Mrs. Boggins persuade Big Bad Wolf to stop eating people up, and they all live happily ever. Except for those first two. Because Big Bad Wolf is very cunning and a huge liar.
Just like Mrs. Boggins and sweet Rolf, I never predicted that coming. I really thought the do-gooders had had beaten the Big Bad Wolf. The funny surprise ending perfectly balances the sweetness of Rolf and his old lady. Those two exude goodness, from Mrs. Boggings' grandmotherly blue curls right down to Rolf's tender smile, and the sweet little pheep! that comes out when he tries to howl. They sit smiling over tea and cake at the terrible wolf they are sure they have transformed. If they only they knew their fate ....

5.0 out of 5 stars Great twist on a classic
Absolutely loved this book, it’s so pretty, lovely to read as it’s an actual story unlike some kids books. And the ending is so funny and catches you off guard. Iv even just bought it for my new phew because I liked it so much!

5.0 out of 5 stars My sons loved it! Mes enfants ont adoré!
Really nice story with two wolves and a granny, nobody is eaten, everybody has fun and learn something, great book (really nice way to go through some classics "little red riding hood", "three little pigs" with one of the character and some references).
Une jolie histoire pleine d'humour et de bons sentiments, assez facile à lire pour ceux qui font leurs premiers pas en anglais.

5.0 out of 5 stars I really like this book
I really like this book. But a children's book? In my childhood it would be acceptable but nowadays we tend to shield our children from the real world. It describes the addictive personality perfectly. If I ran a Al Anon group... I would read this book every year in one of the sessions. I keep this book on my book shelves to reread each time I have to deal with a person with an addictive "bent".

3.0 out of 5 stars Bien
Yo lo adquirí de segunda mano de una biblioteca, está en muy buenas condiciones, algunas dobleces sin importancia. Lo que sí no me ha gustado es que le han arrancado la primera página. Supongo que será porque estaba el sello de la biblioteca. Pero no me ha gustado que no lo indicaran en la descripción.
En cuanto a la historia, es muy divertida para leer con los peques y aunque el final es un poco cruel, tiene su enseñanza.
El nivel de inglés es muy básico, perfecto para los iniciados en el idioma.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tolle Geschichte und schöne Illustrationen
Das Bilderbuch ist sehr ansprechend gestaltet. Es erzählt die Geschichte vom kleinen Wolf Rolf, der so gar nicht dem Märchen-Klischee entspricht. Er lebt bei der Großmutter, backt gerne Kuchen, isst Gemüse und ist immer nett zu seinen Freunden - bis er eines Tages dem großen bösen Wolf begegnet. Das Bilderbuch eignet sich gut für den Einsatz im Englischunterricht der Grundschule. Es greift typische Märchenelemente auf und verdreht sie. Empfehlenswert!
