Wolf's Coming!

  • Interest Level: Preschool - Grade 3
  • Reading Level: Grade 2

As a distant howl echoes through the forest, animals quickly stop what they’re doing and run for home. Look out—Wolf’s coming! As the shadowy figure gets closer and closer and the day draws to a close, the animals shut the door, pull the shades, and turn out the lights. Soon the wolf’s glowing eyes appear at the window and the front door opens . . . But things are not as they seem in this suspenseful, clever story, and it’s the reader who’s in for the biggest surprise of all!
