A familiar fairy tale with a greedy twist

Timothy Knapman reworks the Grimms’ “The Wolf and the Seven Young Goats” around an outsized appetite and a group of goats left home alone. The setup turns on whether the young goats can outwit the wolf—and hints that the balance of who gets a snack may not go the way he expects. Framed as a read-aloud adaptation, the story brings silly tricks into a classic folklore encounter, giving the familiar predator-and-prey premise a playful reversal.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 exploring fairy-tale adaptations
  • Families looking for a read-aloud story with silly tricks
  • Young fans of stories about clever goats facing a wolf

Book overview

A ravenous wolf meets his match when he encounters some enterprising young goats in this new spin on a Grimms' fairy tale.

Once there was a wicked wolf who was so greedy that every day he would eat enough food for TEN birthday parties and still be hungry for more. One day he was on the prowl for dinner when he spotted seven juicy little goats left at home . . . alone. Could these kid goats be clever enough--and have enough silly tricks at the ready--to avoid getting eaten, and maybe even enjoy a little (or big) snack themselves? A renowned storyteller and an acclaimed artist come together to create an entertaining read- and laugh-aloud version of the classic fairy tale "The Wolf and the Seven Young Goats."
