  • The Boy Who Cried Wolf

    Pippa Goodhart

    Hardcover (Tiny Owl Publishing Ltd, Feb. 5, 2015)

There's a lot in this fable for readers to think about and discuss. This book could be the starting point for children to create their own simple stories to demonstrate some universal truth. And the illustrations might well prompt readers to develop their own visual story ideas.

    Carl Sommer, Enache Bogdan

    Library Binding (Advance Publishing, April 1, 2014)
    While grownups understand the magnitude of guarding sheep, children may lack an ability to see the bigger picture. Nicholas finds tending his familys sheep to be mind-numbingly boring, which is why he ultimately makes the impulsive decision to cry Wolf! To his delight, his alert prompts the townspeople to drop everything and rush to his aid, but when the people discover they have been duped, they are livid. Nicholas finally comprehends the ramifications of his foolhardy decision when the wolf genuinely attacks. This time, no one comes to help, resulting in disastrous consequences. A retelling of Aesop's classic fable, this story goes beyond the wolf's attack and illustrates the power of honesty and the blessings of forgiveness.
