Wolf! Wolf! by John Rocco

We thoroughly enjoyed Wolf! Wolf! by John Rocco.  Based on Aesop's fable of The Boy who Cried Wolf, Mr. Rocco's richly illustrated version honors the moral tale while underscoring the joy of new friendship.  Take your time and turn the pages slowly, savoring the details of each picture.  It's a treat when such care is taken by an author/illustrator and you will be rewarded by this book.

I enjoyed learning how Mr. Rocco crafted the story and images for his book.  Read 'the making of Wolf! Wolf!' on his website.

Another favorite is Moonpowder and I'm looking forward to Fu Finds the Way.
