(4) K-3 Wally, a friendly looking wolf, is hungry and gets increasingly grumpy as the book's illustrator draws and offers inappropriate foods. Zoe the Zebra loses her stripes and becomes frustrated with the book's illustrator, who keeps painting triangles on her hide instead of stripes. The stories are slight, but the meta interactions may entertain young listeners new to the convention. Review covers these titles: Wally the Wolf and Zoe the Zebra.
