PreS-K—In this Spanish-language translation of Gravett's Wolf Won't Bite, three confident circus pigs capture a wolf in the wild using a large net and invite all to come to the show. They make the wolf stand on a stool, wear a gigantic bow, jump through hoops, and much more, all while promising that the wolf won't bite! The wolf's confused expressions will keep young readers fairly certain that the pigs are right—he will not bite—but after shooting the wolf from a cannon and sawing him in half, the pigs make the mistake of placing their heads in the wolf's mouth. Suddenly the wolf is no longer confused, and young readers will quickly notice the smile forming on his face. The fun illustrations on white backgrounds and the large text wonderfully portray the circus atmosphere, and the ending will leave children wanting to read the story again.
VERDICT Recommended for all Spanish picture book collections.
