Wolves in fairytales tend to be scary and sneaky, but not Silly Wolf in this series!
He isn’t the smartest, sometimes others try to take advantage of him, but his kindness, innocence, curiosity and zest for life always shines through, getting him past every hurdle and sticky situation. These funny and sometimes sweet tales remind us of the joys and simplicity of childhood.
