wolf who terrified little girls and their grandmothers with his chilling growl and his big yellow teeth. You could tell from the picture that toothpaste had never been on his shopping list.The story got very nasty in the middle and everybody nearly came to a sticky end ... but ... by the last page ... it had all turned out well and went happy-ever-afterly.But when the story ends, Herb insists that his mum takes the book away with her just in case the wolf jumps out of the book to get him. His mother thinks he's being a bit silly, but usually does as she is asked until one night she forgets and Herb is proved right: the wolf does jump out to get him and he is left to sort out the problem with just a little help from a few other storybook favourites...Beware the Storybook Wolvesis a superb book with "Award-Winner" written all over it. Lauren Child's quirky illustrations combine with a unique and funny story that leaves the young reader breathless with every turn, using familiar fairy-tale characters to turn childhood fears on their heads.Read this book and laugh out loud (just wait till you see the solution to Herb's problems!) while warding off your child's fears of things that go bump in the night.

***Background***
Most parents will be aware of Lauren Child these days, or at the least the characters, Charlie and Lola, that she has made household names with our children. She has also written and illustrated many other storybooks too and this is one of those.
***The Story***
The story begins with a little boy called Herb, being read a bedtime story by his mother. "Sometimes it was about a big wolf who terrified little girls and their grandmothers ... ...You could tell from the picture that toothpaste had never been on his shopping list."
This is Herb's favourite story and he loves the picture on the back of the book with a wolf that has an eye patch. Herb insists that his mother take the book downstairs every night because he is scared of the storybook wolves but one night she forgets and the story continues with the appearance of the storybook wolves turning up in Herb's bedroom.

...***Background***
LaurenChild is well known for her series of Charlie & Lola, which is available in the written form as well as being on the Cbeebies channel. This book is a one off, rather like Beware Of The StorybookWolves and features her unique style of illustrations.
***The Story***
It starts with a little girl, who says,
“I really want a pet.
‘Please Mum, can I have a pet?’
Mum says, ‘Well – perhaps something with not too much fur.’
Dad says, ‘Maybe something that lives outside.’
Granny says, ‘Nothing with a buzz.’ It interferes with her hearing aid.
Grandad says, ‘Stuffed pets are very reliable.’
The pet shop lady says, ‘Goldfish can be fun.’”
Each adult then asks the little girl what type of pet she would like but each time she suggests something, one of the other adults comes up with a good reason why she shouldn’t get it...
