"'You can kill the wolf at the very end, but this way we can have more story, ' said Michael. It is in similar improvisational exchanges that we-adults and children-learn how to love." - Commonweal Dramatist McCleery perfectly captures the irritation, affection, tricks, admiration, and sheer surprise that pass back and forth between parent and child in everyday family life. This "underground classic" finds an inventive and exasperated father telling a wolf story to end all wolf stories (so he hopes) to his inventive and demanding young son. "If you can get only one children's book this year, make it William McCleery's 1947 Wolf Story. And you can't start them too young." -Alexandra Mullen, B&N Review ![]() ![]() "For the parent faced with a child consumed with the desire to hear the same story for the zillionth time, especially if it's a story with a wolf in it, joy has come with the reprinting of William McCleery's 1947 classic Wolf Story.I've loved this book for a long time, and it's good enough for a grown-up to read in silent pleasure, but it really springs to life when it's read out loud.Laughing and crying over made-up characters we know are made up, getting a kick out of it, and coming back for more is just one of those weird things humans do. ![]()
