Tony Ross' kids are sophisticated and street-smart in this lively retelling of a Grimm fairytale.
When Mrs Goat has to go to the supermarket she warns her offspring not to open the door to anyone. "If you do," she warns them, "the hungry wolf will probably get in and eat you all."
The hungry wolf is, of course, determined to get his paws on those juicy kids. He tries one trick after another to convince the kids their mum has returned home so they will open the door. But these kids are no walkover, and each time the wolf has to retreat, humiliated and slightly damaged.
However, this is a single-minded wolf, and he will stop at nothing to get into the house. Plastic surgery is not too extreme to achieve his goal, and he might just get his dinner after all ...
