When an old lazy wolf types a young sheep a letter hoping to lure the "small, tender and fluffy" meal to him, the two become pen pals. Luckily, Mama Sheep intervenes. The illustrations are rendered in soft brush strokes and friendly colors that make even the conniving wolf appear likable, lightening the creepy undertone beneath Wolf's intentions.
