Every night, Herb's mother reads him a bedtime story. Sometimes it's about a big bad wolf who terrifies little girls and their grandmothers, with his chilling growl and big yellow teeth. The story gets very nasty in the middle and everybody nearly comes to a sticky end. But, by the last page, it all turns out well and happy-ever-afterly.

But what will happen to Herb when the wolves escape from his book? Will they gobble him up? Or will this, too, end happily-ever-after? Read this thrilling tale to find out—and learn what to do if the wolves ever escape from your storybook!

Beware of the Storybook Wolves offers a captivating adventure that keeps readers on the edge of their seats, a must-read for young and old alike who love a little thrill before bedtime.
