Illustrated by
Scott Nash.
Shepherd Betsy (Betsy Who Cried Wolf), her wolf partner Zimmo, and their increasingly rowdy herd take cupcakes to Grandma. Presently Zimmo scoots ahead, leaving Betsy to wonder about his intentions. Nash stages the shenanigans in an attractive country landscape, supporting Levine's light tone with comical pen drawings of the round-faced, energetic Betsy, benevolent Zimmo, and wayward sheep. Good read-aloud fun.
