Lynne Chapman.
The Big Bad Wolf, feeling lonely, vows to change his image and make friends by being useful, good, and noble. But no one believes he's reformed. The slight, silly narrative, accompanied by textured illustrations, follows the wolf as he's first rejected by Mrs. Goose, Mrs. Chicken, and Mrs. Duck and then welcomed when he finds and returns (instead of eats) Mrs. Duck's lost duckling.
