"This book is a retelling of the original fable just with some added details that made for a longer and more fun story. I think the best part of this book was the illustrations. They were entertaining, colorful and very detailed. The illustrations done with the different fonts were also very pleasing, such as when the boy cried wolf it would be in all capitals, or how when the sheep "Baaaa"ed it would be in wavy letters. Although it was a retelling of the original, it still taught the wonderful lesson of being trustworthy and respectful towards other people in order to get the trust and respect back."

    " I absolutely loved this book! I feel like it was the same as I always remembered it, just a bit more added to it that made it even better! The way it was written with different style fonts was great, but also the illustrations were absolutely amazing! It was a very colorful book that I know many children would enjoy reading. It also teaches a great lesson about being honest, which is always a good thing for kids to learn at a young age. "

    " A classic short story by B.G. Hennessy centred on a boy who goes out in the streets and screams 'wolf' in an attempt to drive his neighbours out of their homes to save him. Once they answer his call he laughs and mocks them. After repeating his scam three times one day the boy is really attacked and eaten up by a wolf and as he screams, no one responds. This is an excellent story for young children to be exposed to early on in their school experience to convey a powerful message. The consequence of lying and cheating continuously almost always leads to miserable outcomes. "

    " I like the message of this book about being honest. People will not believe a person who constantly lies. This can teach students to tell the truth about situations in the classroom. I would read this book to the whole class because it talks about the consequences of lieing and encourages students to tell the truth. "

    " I think the ending of this is very gentle (i.e. a cop out). The boy is totally supposed to get eaten! But the illustrations are great and I think this is one of the best morality tales out there (especially if the boy gets it in the end). "

    " This is the long American tale that everyone knows. If this story can be instilled in children from a young age they can learn to not lie or play jokes with serous matters. I really like this story because it always holds true. I would share this book with K and first graders. "

    " This non-fiction picture of the old folktale has great illustrations. The students like to point out the small details on each page. And I like to talk about the lesson learned by the boy in the book. "
