Book Reviews of Let's Play In The Forest While The Wolf Is Not Around
Book Review: Absolutely hilarious read-aloud for young children
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm surprised to see that this book is no longer available direct from Amazon - it's one of my favorites to read with the young children I teach. Based on a Mexican/South American game (there are many versions), the animals keep pausing in their revels to ask, "Oh, Wolf! Are you there?" and he says "I am putting on my underpants" (the kids' favorite, of course), or "my pants," or "my shirt," etc. I have the children join in on the chant "Oh Wolf! Are you there?" and they love it. The ending is a fun surprise - the wolf is there, and ready to eat - pancakes! Cute illustrations too. Really wonderful book.
Summary of Let's Play In The Forest While The Wolf Is Not Around
Rising star Claudia Rueda makes a sparkling debut as author and artist in this winsome story based on a traditional French and Spanish play song for the very young.
"Let's play in the forest while the wolf is not around," sing the animals in the forest. "Wolf, are you there?"
"I am putting on my underpants," Wolf answers.
As Duck, Bunny, Moose, Beaver, and others play between the trees, Wolf continues getting dressed: undershirt, pants, T-shirt, socks, and shoes. By the time he has combed his hair and put on his backpack, Wolf is VERY hungry, and the animals are suddenly VERY afraid.
Luckily for the animals, Wolf is hungry for PANCAKES -- his favorite!
