K-3
Colección Luz Verde series.
Illustrated by
Wong Herbert Yee.
When Mom and Pop Nash find their hens' eggs are missing, they hide in a shed and catch a wolf in the act. They trap him and learn he's been painting the eggs not eating them...which gives them an idea. Yee's animated illustrations help play up the humor. This bilingual edition has some minor flaws in the translation from English to Spanish.

This unpredictable comedy of errors features Mom and Pop Nash, who are determined to keep setting traps until they stop the wolf who is stealing their eggs. It turns out that Wolf is painting, not eating, the eggs, thus leading to a whole new sideline for the Nashes' farm. The slightly wacky story is accented by humorous illustrations.
