(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Maurice Sendak. A philistine wolf's appetite for pigs is transformed into an appetite for art in this posthumously published burlesque. The story is perfectly coherent, but wordy, with only a few of the distinctive touches one would expect from a James Marshall text. Sendak's illustrations are cluttered and oddly lacking in depth, making it difficult at times to decipher the content of the picture.
