Betsy Who Cried Wolf

Any wolf who tries to eat Betsy's sheep had better watch out. But Zimmo is no ordinary wolf—he's a hungry wolf, with a Plan!

In her first picture book, Newbery Honor author Gail Carson Levine puts her own spin on a traditional tale, while Scott Nash brings a comic sensibility to this hilarious story.
