- Abstract
- en_US Here is one of a set of 20 pamphlets, apparently sold generally in two sets. Seven slick, shiny pages with lively illustrations after a title-page. The pages feel almost plastic, with two curved corners. Each cover has a "BookWorld" logo in the upper left and an "I can read" symbol proper to the booklet in the upper right. Interior illustrations spread across the two pages. This version of BW departs from most traditional versions in two dramatic ways. First, the boy tells the lie only once. On the following day, a group of wolves comes. The artist's best work here is on the faces of the villagers, both running to respond to the first request and disregarding the second request. "Finally the wolves ate all the sheep." Except for isolated grammatical and idiomatic uses, this is a strong production!
