Illustrated by
Melissa Sweet.
Book-lover Wooliam and knitter Baabwaa are sheep best friends looking for an adventure. They meet a wolf in sheep's clothing whom Wooliam teaches to read and Baabwaa knits a new coat for...when the wolf isn't chasing them ("he is just following his nature"). Elliott's matter-of-fact tone blends humorously with Sweet's playful mixed-media illustrations in this offbeat tale of unlikely new friendship.
