Every night Herb's mother would read him a bedtime story. Sometimes it was about a big wolf who terrified little girls and their grandmothers with his chilling growl and his big yellow teeth. You could tell from the picture that toothpaste had never been on his shopping list.The story got very nasty in the middle and everybody nearly came to a sticky end ... but ... by the last page ... it had all turned out well and went happy-ever-afterly. But when the story ends, Herb insists that his mum takes the book away with her just in case the wolf jumps out of the book to get him. His mother thinks he's being a bit silly, but usually does as she is asked until one night she forgets and Herb is proved right: the wolf does jump out to get him and he is left to sort out the problem with just a little help from a few other storybook favourites...Beware the Storybook Wolves is a superb book with "Award-Winner" written all over it. Lauren Child's quirky illustrations combine with a unique and funny story that leaves the young reader breathless with every turn, using familiar fairy-tale characters to turn childhood fears on their heads. Read this book and laugh out loud (just wait till you see the solution to Herb's problems!) while warding off your child's fears of things that go bump in the night. (Age 4 and over) --Susan Harrison

Our entire family loves to read this book. I would say it is geared towards 4-6 year olds, as it is about overcoming fears. It puts a spin on typical fairytales with lots of laughs and silliness. I am buying copies for all my "kid-friends" for Christmas.
Fantastic fun for all from 2 to 102! December 16, 2001

Hilarious story which is as much fun to read as it is for the kids. Works on ten different levels so if you have kids of different ages this is a great book to keep everyone amused. Highly recommended.

Fabulous book March 14, 2006
My 6 year old and nine year old daughters both love this book. Unusual well thought out story and great illustrations - funny not scary.

This book is all about Herb who is scared of his fairytale book being left in his bedrm in case the characters come to life. His mum forgets one night to take it with her & the story is all about what happens as Herb deals with the 2 wolves who want to eat him ("little boys is pudding!!!"). I bought this book for my 5 yr old son but it was so much fun that my 9 yr old was asking if he could listen in too! This book is fantastic fun - lots of scope for silly voices whilst reading (i love doing the wolves & the fairy godmother!). As with all Lauren Child books , this comes highly recommended by my whole family - kids & adults alike!
