In this well-told Spanish version of Nicky and the Big, Bad Wolves, Nico the rabbit dreams that a hundred wolves are after him. One hundred? Are you sure? asks his mother. Nico goes back to bed, but the nightmare returns and Mama must go outside--armed with a broom--to beat the bad dreams away. The silly illustrations of thug-like wolves on motorbikes and pirate wolves sailing the seas add humor to the story.
