A boy tending sheep on a lonely mountainside thinks it a fine joke to cry 'wolf' and watch the people come running--and then one day a wolf is really there, but no one answers his call. 'Nothing ever happens here,' the shepherd thinks. But the bored boy knows what would be exciting: He cries that a wolf is after his sheep, and the town's people come running. How often can that trick work, though?
B.G. Hennessy's retelling of this timeless fable is infused with fanciful whimsy through Boris Kulikov's hilarious and ingenious illustrations. This tale is sure to leave readers grinning sheepishly. |
