In a series of delightfully minimalist comic-strip sketches, a young boy tries to help a demoralized Big Bad Wolf. The boy takes the wolf home to live in his bedroom closet and teaches him to regain confidence in his ability to scare people. Witty conversations between boy, drawn in blue outline, and wolf, depicted in lanky silhouette, chart the former fairy-tale villain's progress.
