PS
Mr. Wolf checks the mail: "not so much as a card on his special day!" The day ticks on, counted out by the hour. Many nursery-rhyme and fairy-tale characters populate Mr. Wolf's world, and Gliori includes more in her delicately humorous watercolor and pen-and-ink illustrations. Readers will enjoy the big surprise birthday celebration along with Mr. Wolf.
