So this is the second book that has to do with wolves and sheep that I have encountered this month- actually within the past two weeks.
I like the title and front cover illustration. The story is very cute, and the illustrations put it over the top for me. This is a book full of entertainment. Great little story for the littles.

This was really adorable. Humorous, but overall very sweet. And I always appreciate when words say one thing, but the kids need to get information from the illustrations to understand better.

One wolf, one infiltration plan, one tiny act of kindness to foil it all.
When a clever wolf decides to hatch a scheme, he may not be as clever as he thinks. The sheep he has come to live amongst, hoping to lull them into a false sense of security, are on to him. Not only do they see through the flimsy disguise, they begin to think that this wolf may just be something special.
The story, the illustrations, the fact that I, my husband and our teenage children read this book three times in a row, fits of laughter & all. Ah yes, one for the shelves, for our children’s story time, and my own personal enjoyment.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this one, but it is so sweet, and the illustrations are adorable and heartwarming.
Update: I reread this in 2022 after thinking about it again, and it's just so lovely. I'm raising my rating to five stars for how memorable the book is, and for all of the perfect subtle details in the illustrations that hint where the story is going. This is so well-crafted.

You really have to pay attention to the details in the illustrations to get the full humor. Which means that you should probably read this book many times to fully enjoy it. I had a hard time deciding whether this book was lighthearted or dark. It's lighthearted in a childish way, but a wolf in sheep's clothing is a dark theme. Predator vs. prey is dark, but this is a lightened perspective. There is no right answer...

A delightfully, hilarious take on the classic wolf in sheep's clothing story.
