A wickedly funny tale about the Big Bad Wolf within...

Once upon a time there was a wolf called Rolf - a good little wolf who liked baking cakes and was always kind to his friends. But real wolves aren't supposed to be good - they're supposed to be BIG and BAD.

Can a good little wolf still be a real wolf?

And will Rolf discover there's something big and bad lurking inside him after all?

Praise for Good Little Wolf

Teasingly playful

Lucy Daniel, Daily Telegraph

Good Little Wolf is a cheeky and amusing read, with plenty to delight its young audience . . . I can't wait to see what Nadia Shireen produces next. If it's as fun as Good Little Wolf, we're in for a real treat

The Bookbag

A hilarious debut . . . Quirky illustrations and the depiction of an utterly endearing Rolf are just a precursor to the wonderful twist at the end

Vanessa Lewis, The Bookseller

The stylised pictures bring the characters beautifully to life and add so much to the story. Large print and just a few sentences on each page make it perfect for new readers, but great fun for all abilities. I love it!

Primary Times

Starring the fuzziest, friendliest wee wolf ever to grace the pages of a picture book, the story turns stereotypes on its head as Rolf fails to howl at the moon, harass little pigs or eat any grannies

Big Issue Scotland

Enjoyable for those mischievous young listeners who enjoy a good bad ending

Pamela Paul, The New York Times

This has the little wolf being good and trying very hard to be bad but just can't do it! He tries to convert the bad wolf! Does he succeed? Let your child decide
