This book is a spin on the character in the Three Little Pigs, the wolf is lonely and tired of being bad, so he decides that he is going to be good. This book could be read to the class after someone is caught bullying another student. Basically, the teacher would emphasize that since the wolf had always been bad, the other characters didn't believe him when he wanted to be good. Children would act the same way to another student if they had always been mean to them. This brings up the point of second chances or even third chances for people to prove themselves, we shouldn't always assume.

This fairytale is a great story that would be great for 4-5 year old's to listen to as part of reading time. The 'big bad wolf', the 'baddie' star of many classic fairy tales has decided he's lonely and that the only way to resolve this issue is to change his character to try and do some nice things for other people. This was a wonderful book.

I imagine that I'm overreacting to this book based on the scary experience my kids had yesterday with a creepy guy in a pickup truck following them down the street....

The Big Bad Wolf is trying to change his image to become a good wolf, but the small animals he interacts with are still scared of him. While this could be a good lesson for small children, to learn not to judge other by their appearance, I felt like a better lesson is that it is perfectly the right thing to do to run inside the house and slam the door if a scary person comes up to your yard and offers to play with you. So while I felt sorry for the wolf because he genuinely was trying to be a nice guy, I felt like the small animals were doing the right thing. But I am probably over thinking this book.

The illustrations were cute, and my kids like the story.

I don't think this book is very educational but young children would probably like it so I would probably include this in my library but it wouldn't be one of my first choices.

I really love this book! The illustrations are very well done and the story has important lessons for children to learn. It can also teach them that there are multiple perspectives to a story so it is always good to not assume something about another person.

This story is about the Big Bad Wolf who is trying to become the Big Good Wolf because he is sad and wants some friends. However, every time he tries to help the other animals in the forest, they slam their doors in his face. Eventually things work out for the best and everyone is happy. This was a decent story although I thought the ending was pretty disappointing. I won't spoil it, but it was definitely not the exact ending I was hoping for. The pictures are really interested. They look almost like someone colored them with some kind of sponge, but it's too controlled and uniform. I like the colors, but not really the stile of drawing that went into creating the animals.
