Once upon a Rainy Day

(3) K-3 Translated by Susan Ouriou. The Big Bad Wolf has the same sunny-day routine: he pursues various small animals, and they outwit him every time. While the sly text focuses on characters' actions/reactions, the spare illustrations show rainy-day scenes of the forest devoid of animals: the wolf sleeps in, therefore nothing happens. Readers who are up for a brain-teasing challenge will dig this shaggy-dog story.
