My students thought this book was hilarious. A really great read aloud choice that keeps students engaged. Even my older students were into the story which is a win for me!

Herb really likes his bedtime stories. He especially likes the one about a little girl in a red hood and the big, scary wolf that almost ends her. But when the story is over and he sees the other scary wolf on the back of the book (the one with a patch over his eye), he gets scared and insists that his mother take the book with her when she leaves. But then one night his mother is distracted by a phone call and leaves the book in Herb's room. Soon Herb is woken by bad breath and heavy breathing and when he turns on hi light--there are the two wolves from the book ready to eat him! Herb must use some fast thinking in order to survive the night and the book of fairy tales by his bed might be just the same.

Fun, inventive and unique story by Child. I really liked the creative use of fairy tales and the story as a whole. Fun, fun read!!

Classic fairy tale characters collide in this book about one boy's over active imagination and how he convinces the characters to stray from their normal behavior. Good for intermediate students. Really interesting layout of pictures and text.

This and "Whose Afraid of the Big Bad Book" are my two faves.

This is the kind of existential, self-reflexive, meta-fiction that's been sorely missing in a post-DFW world
