As Rabbit gradually discovers in this clever, imaginative book, the Not-So-Big-Bad Wolf is quite different from the Big Bad Wolf, with shorter ears, smaller teeth, and longer hair. Simple, humorous illustrations help build suspense, finally revealing that the Not-So-Big-Bad Wolf is a child in a wolf costume, who catches and squashes Rabbit in "a big hug."
