PS
While the wolf is occupied with getting dressed, the forest animals, all strikingly illustrated in bold colors, are free to play in the forest. The text is adapted from a song Rueda remembers from her Colombian childhood (music is included). The spare illustrations composed of basic shapes are deceptively simple and add to the sly humor.
