giggled, \"What\'s the time, Grandma Wolf?\"\'
22 - \"It\'s...DINNERTIME!\"
23 - \'So we all settled down to a vegetable stew, and old
Grandma Wolf, what did she do?\'
24 - \'She read us our favorite story!\'
Ages 4-7. Grandma Wolf smiles with sharp teeth. A little pig in the background has his face up to his hands, reminiscent of Macaulay Culkin in the movie Home Alone. The dust jacket illustration makes it seem as if a scary story is ahead. And why not? A big hairy wolf has moved into the woods, and all the animals know they should leave her alone. Curiosity gets the best of them, however; they creep up on her cottage and keep asking \"What\'s the time, Grandma Wolf?\" Each answer seems more threatening: time to wash the stew pot, chop the wood with a sharp ax, make the fire. But when she finally yells, \"It\'s dinnertime!\" instead of running, the animals sit down for stew and a read-aloud of Grandma\'s favorite story, \"Little Red Riding Hood.\" Basing the book on the game \"What\'s the Time, Mr. Wolf?\" (rules on the back flap), Brown takes this game of tag and turns it into something quite delightful. The watercolor art is top-notch, with every character humorously distinctive. His depiction of Grandma is a particularly fine mixture of menace and sly good humor. A fun read-aloud.

Lon Po Po
A red-riding hood story from china
By Ed Young
Once, long ago, there was a woman who lived alone in the country with her three children, Shang, Tao, and
Paotze.
On the day of their grandmother’s birthday, the good mother set off to see her, leaving the three children
home .
Before she left，she said：＂Be good while I’m away， my heart-loving children; I will not return tonight.
Remember to close the door tight at sunset and latch it well. ＂
But an old wolf lived nearby and saw the good mother leave.
At dusk, disguised as an old woman, he came up to the house of the children and knocked on the door twice.
bang! bang!
shang,who was eldest,said through the latched door，
\"Who is it?\"
\"My little jewels, \"said the wolf,\"this is your grandmother, your Po Po\".
\"Po Po! \"shang said．\"Our mother has gone to visit you! \"
the wolf acted surprised.
\" To visit me? I have not met her along the way. She must have taken a different route. \"
\"Po Po! \" shang said．\"How is it that you come so late? \"
The wolf answered, \"The journey is long, my children, and the day is short. \"
shang listened through the door.
\"Po Po, \"she said \"why is your voice so low? \"
\"Your grandmother has caught a cold, good children, it is dark and windy out here. Quickly open up, and let
your Po Po come in.\" the cunning wolf said.
Tao and Paotze could not wait.
One unlatched the door and the other opened it.
They shouted,\" Po Po, Po Po, come in!\"
The moment the wolf entered, he blew out the candle.
\"Po Po,\"shang asked,\" why did you blow out the candle? The room is now dark.\"
The wolf did not answer.
Tao and Paotze rushed to their Po Po and wished to be hugged.
Old wolf held Tao.
\"Good child you are so plump.\" He embraced Paotze.\"Good child,You’ve grown to be so sweet.\"
Soon the old wolf pretended to be sleepy.He yawned.
\"All the chicks are in the coop.\"he said.\"Po Po is sleepy to\"
He climbed into the bed, Paotze climbed in at one end with the wolf, and Shang and Tao climbed in at the
other.But when Shang stretched,she touched the wolf\'s tail.
\"Po Po, Po Po, your foot has a bush on it.\"
\"Po Po has brought hemp strings to weave you a basket,\"the wolf said.
Shang touched grandmother’s sharp claws.
\"Po Po, Po Po your hand has thorns on it.\"
\"Po Po has brought an awl to make shoes for you,\"the wolf said.
At once,Shang lit the light and the wolf blew it out again, but Shang had seen the wolf’s hairy face.
\"Po Po, Po Po,\"she said,for she was not only the eldest, she was the most clever,\" you must be hungry. Have
you eaten gingko nuts?\"
\"What is gingko?\" the wolf asked.
\"Gingko is soft and tender like the skin of a baby. One taste and you will live forever.\"Shang said, \" and
the nuts grow on the top of tree just outside the door.\"
The wolf gave a sigh.\"Oh, dear. Po Po is old, her bones have become brittle. No longer can she climb trees.\"
\"Good Po Po, we can pick some for you,\"Shang said.
The wolf was delighted.
Shang jumped out of the bed and Tao and Paotze went with her to the gingko tree.
There, Shang told her sisters about the wolf and all three climbed up the tall tree.
The wolf waited and waited.
Plump Tao did not come back. sweet Paotze did not come back, and Shang did not come back, and no one brought
back any nuts from the gingko tree.
At last the wolf shouted,\"Where are you, children?\"
\"Po Po, \"Shang called out,we are on the top of the tree eating gingko nuts.\"
\"Good children,\" the wolf begged,\"pluck some for me.\"
\"But Po Po, gingko is magic only when it is plucked directly from the tree. You must come and pluck it from
the tree yourself.\"
The wolf came outside and paced back and forth under the tree where he heard the three children eating gingko
nuts at the top.
\"Oh,Po Po,these nuts are so tasty! The skin is so tender,\" Shang said.
The wolf\'s mouth began to water for a taste.
Finally,Shang,the eldest and most clever child,said,\" Po Po, Po Po, I have a plan. At the door there is a
big basket. Behind it is a rope. Tie the rope to the basket, sit in the basket and throw the other end to me.
I can pull you up.\"
The wolf was overjoyed and fetched the basket and the rope, then threw one end of the rope to the top of the
tree.
Shang caught the rope and began to pull the basket up and up.
Halfway she let go of the rope, and the basket and the wolf feel to the ground.
\"I am so small and weak, Po Po,\" Shang pretended. \" I could not hold the rope alone.\"
\"This time I will help,Tao said. \"Let us do it again.\"
The wolf had only one thought in his mind: to taste a gingko nut.
He climbed into the basket again. Now Shang and Tao pulled the rope on the basket together, higher and
higher.
Again, they let go, and again the wolf tumbled down, down, and bumped his head.
The wolf was furious. He growled and cursed.
\"We could not hold the rope, Po Po,\" Shang said, \"but only one gingko nut and you will be well again.\"
\"I shall give a hand to my sisters this time,\" Pao,the youngest,said. \"This time we shall not fail.\"
Now the children pulled the rope with all of their strength.
As they pulled they sang,\"Hei yo, hei yo,\" and the basket rose straight up, higher than the first time,
higher than the second time, higher and higher and higher until it nearly reached the top of the tree.
When the wolf reached out, he could almost touch the highest branch.
But at that moment, Shang coughed and they all let go of the rope, and the basket fell down and down and
down.
Not only did the wolf bump his head, but he broke his heart to pieces.
\"Po Po!\" Shang shouted, but there was no answer.
\"Po Po!\" Tao shouted, but there was no answer.
\" Po Po!\" Paotze shouted.There was still no answer.
The children climbed to the branches just above the wolf and saw that he was truly dead.
Then they climbed down, went into the house, closed the door, locked the door with the latch and fell
peacefully asleep.
On the next day, their mother returned with baskets of food from their real Po Po, and the three sisters told
