I really liked this book because it was a good moment to talk to my son about changing behavior and prooving you've changed with the challenge of having to prove you've changed. That's a tongue twister!
This is another great twist to a traditional literature piece. The Big Bad Wolf is always viewed as a big, bad, and mean wolf. He decides he wants to be good, but nobody trusts him or wants to be around him. When duckling #5 gets lost, the wolf helps him back to his family. The mother duck slammed the door in his face again, which made him cry. The duck then invited him in to play and have tea. They now think he is a good wolf, even though he is called the Big Bad Wolf.
In the story I saw how the author portrayed the wolf in a different light then just being bad. O really enjoyed it and would add it to my collection for kids to read.
I loved the super cute illustrations in this book. The wolf had such great expressions. The story is about the Big Bad Wolf who wants to be good and teaches kids not to judge before getting to know someone. The wolf is so determined to be good but can’t seem to catch a break. I felt so sorry for the big guy. Finally he has an opportunity to show how good he can be and he makes some friends.
Big Bad Wolf wants to change and be good he’s tired of having no friends and feeling lonely, but no matter how hard he tries no one wants to give him a chance. He has already been prejudged due to his previous behaviour. One day he is forced to make a decision, that could change everything, you will have to read the story to find out how it all ends. :0)
I really enjoyed this story, and I think it’s great for showing children not to prejudge others. Also I think it would be great to use as a tool with a child who may have acted out and wants to change.
Includes different outcome to original story which enables children to see the book from different perspectives. Children can learn there are always two sides to every story. The happy ending of the story can allow children to understand there can be a way of resolving situations.
I really enjoyed this book, because it shared that some of the people or things you think are bad, can actually be very soft and not be so bad. I love this story, because it shares that the big bad wolf isn't as bad as everyone thinks he is. The art work is also very well done.
I love how the big bad wolf reforms and becomes good. I like how he shows determination to be kind even when others don't like him and don't trust him. I don't like that they continue to call him the big bad wolf after he reforms. I don't think that is kind.
Talking points - when people have changed what kinds of things could we do to ignore that change? Is that kind? What kinds of things can we do to acknowledge and celebrate that change? How important is trust? What are some things people can do to lose trust? What are some things people can do to regain trust? Is it easier to lose trust or to restore trust?
If you are pairing and essential oil with it, I'd recommend doTERRA's Forgive blend. Who doesn't need more forgiveness in their lives!
