Footprints in the Snow
Paperback
(Andersen Press )
Wolf feels badly represented — all the wolves he has ever read about are nasty, scary and greedy, so he decides to write a story about a nice wolf.
In the story, Mr. Nice Wolf sets off to find the owner of footprints in the forest, as he wants to find a new friend. The other animals he meets along the way are wary and will not help him. But he persists and eventually Mr. Nice Wolf finds Duck. Now Duck looks so fat and juicy that Mr. Nice Wolf’s wolfish instincts nearly get the better of him. Fortunately a knock at the door brings Wolf back to his senses, but just who is at the door and how will Wolf react?
