The big bad wolf knows he rules the forest?but he likes to hear the others tell him so. He marches through the woods, asking: ?Tell me, who is the strongest?? Everyone, from Little Red Riding Hood to the Three Little Pigs to the Seven Dwarfs, agrees he is the strongest, the toughest, the terror of the woods. So when ?a little toad of some sort? stands up to him, the wolf is furious?then quickly learns his lesson.I Am So Strong is a great read-aloud for families and classrooms, and a delightful story for anyone who?s known an overconfident wolf.?The wolf?s comeuppance is deeply satisfying; the only disappointment is that the book is over so soon. Better read it again.? Publishers Weekly

The big bad wolf is hungry and on today's menu is Grandma, with Red Riding Hood for dessert. But no one is home at Grandma's house, only a nightdress lying on the bed. The wolf puts on the nightie and sets off to see what he can catch dressed as Grandma. Here comes Red Riding Hood. She looks clever, but the wolf knows who is smartest . . . Yet this little girl is not so easily duped. And the wolf finds unexpected hazards in wearing a frilly petticoat in the deep dark woods.
