Delessert puts his own spin on the story of the wolf and the three pigs. Some cats trick the wolf, saving the pigs and other animals as well. The nightmarish wolf who "grew taller than the midnight moon" fills the large pages. Selective use of orange, red, and yellow alongside the browns and grays of the animals adds to the menace.
