Diary of a Big Bad Wolf is an energetic reinvention of a beloved character. Full of wit, empathy, and surprise it turns the “villain’s” tale on its head and invites readers to root for Lawrence, the wolf, even as his plans hilariously unravel. With bold illustrations and swift chapters, it’s a perfect bedtime read.
