A wolf is coming our way! We have to do something, but what should we do? “Quick, turn the page” so that we can get rid of him! Well…that didn’t work. He is even closer now. Turn the page again to see if that helps. Arghh! That has only made the problem worse. Now he is “very, very close!”
Clearly drastic measures are called for here. We are going to need our wits if we are going to rid ourselves of the wolf. Let’s try tilting the book to the right. Perhaps then….
Yes! It is working. The wolf is slipping down the slope we have created. Tip the book some more and maybe we will be able to get rid of him for good.
In this unique, interactive book children get to participate in an adventure that they are surely going to enjoy. With every page turn the adventure heats up, and when they get to the last page children will be confronted with the ultimate challenge.
