Big Wolf and Little Wolf

(4) PS Illustrated by Cathie Felstead. When Little Wolf asks his dad for a good-night tune, Big Wolf's "yowly song" inspires a playful scare from Mama Wolf that leads to a family hug. The very young may enjoy this slight, affectionate tale, but the bold pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations rendered in sunny hues, frequent jumbo typeface, and silly lyrics ("I use my nose to smell my feet") are at odds with the bedtime theme.
