Here's the summary: "Rolf is proud when his friend, Mrs. Boggins, calls him a good little wolf, but when the Big Bad Wolf teases him Rolf tries to prove himself by howling at the moon and blowing down Little Pig's house." There's an illustration of the wolf with a full, fat stomach at the end.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07502669010130906525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070881262635836880.post-47958998148212670172012-01-24T23:24:43.033-08:002012-01-24T23:24:43.033-08:00I can imagine this would be just _perfect_ for tod...I can imagine this would be just _perfect_ for toddler storytime (and bedtime).Playing by the bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02761644438775249830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070881262635836880.post-68778839219194600052012-01-04T02:17:32.784-08:002012-01-04T02:17:32.784-08:00Hi, can i ask you something?

I’m looking for children books with “scary” animal illustrations like Wolf (or fox) eating pigs (or seven kids or Red Riding hood or birds in Chicken Little) or being pictured with a fat stomach. Any sort of help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The magazines are all part of our Juvenile magazine collection, located in the Youth Services area of the library (with the exception of Working Mother, which is located in the adult magazine collection). These magazines are also right next to our parenting collection in the Youth Services area.
