Abstract

A wolf went out to hunt based on lessons learned from reading its grandmother’s picture books when it was young.
It tracked its prey strategically so that it would not get driven away like in the picture book. However, …
The main characters in the picture book are stronger than expected, and the wolf’s hunt is hindered by difficulties every different from those in the picture book! Will the wolf be able to hunt safely?
This new style of creative picture book tells the story of the back-and-forth between the wolf and the main characters, inspired by internationally famous tales from The Brothers Grimm and Perrault, such as The Three Pigs, The Wolf and the Seven Young Goats, and Little Red Riding Hood.
The masterful contents occasionally feature elements from these, but even readers unfamiliar with the original stories can enjoy this work.
It also features visually-impressive illustrations, such as delicately drawn pictures, and illustrations inside the cover that portray the contents of the picture books within.
