Winston the Book Wolf by Marni McGee; illustrated by Ian Beck (Walker,
2006). ISBN: 0802795692
Winston has a taste for words, so huge, in fact, that there is a great big
BITE out of the center of the cover of this delightful picture book! The
sign in front of the library says, "No Wolves Allowed," but Winston doesn't
care. He gobbles those words down. And even though the rather prim and
dour librarian reminds him, in no uncertain terms, that he's not allowed,
he hops over computers, tables, and chairs (with the three pigs looking on)
to get at the books full of words. Luckily, Rosie in her red hoodie, is
there to lead him to the exit, out under a bridge, over a hill, and past
the cow jumping over the moon straight to the forest where she teaches him
to taste the words by reading them instead. He's a quick study and a huge
success, so much so that he borrows Granny's dress, floppy hat, and
glasses, and accompanies Rosie back to the library where he volunteers his
time as the Story Lady. Kids will delight in the turn on Little Red Riding
Hood and the exceptional illustrations will keep them up on their knees
when their own Story Lady (or Man) is sharing this book! [Suggested ages: 4-8]
